Viva Mexico! Which video of Mexico do you like better?
Posted: January 2, 2012 Filed under: Dear & Beautiful, Mexican Style | Tags: global style, mexican style Comments OffLet’s kick off the new year with some awesome videos of the great country of Mexico…
Here’s a lovely video about Mexico with lots of images and a feeling of great pride in a tremendously diverse but unified country. And there are some great shots of artisans at work.
But I prefer this one with a more modern soundtrack and a snappy, upbeat selection of glimpses of a truly great city.
Which do you prefer and why?
Global Table, Mexican Style

A couple weeks ago at GUILD, we had a Global Bazaar and we decorated a long table with a variety of things that were mostly Mexican with a few pieces of American, Chinese, French, Peace Pavilion, vintage and lots of other styles thrown in. But then, last week the table sold, so we had to take it all apart…and it’s now living in the photograph only. The mixing of colors and style turned out beautifully, don’t you think?
The whole idea was inspired by a photo I saw on Style Me Pretty, a wedding design blog. The original table was created by Celebrations of Joy in La Quinta, California and photographed by Isabelle Lawrence Photography.
We adding lots more stuff and I especially wanted to Mexican it up so this is the result! Enjoy, but if you use the photo remember to credit the sources!
Most of the merchandise used in this table setting is located at GUILD. If there’s something in particular you are interested in, please contact Anne at info@zinniafolkarts.com.
