from Mexico,, with love and light!

i fell in love at first sight with this playful little light!

and later learned it won a prize at the design show! 

the designer hails from Austin, Texas, grew up in Mexico and took inspiration from a popular, painted wooden toy for his clever creation...

Todo LUPITA

it was high stress in the city getting to a Taco Thursday lunch date this week, so much so that i forgot to take photos of the food! 

with so many visual vignettes to enjoy,  it is almost but not quite understandable...

we shared guacamole and two servings of chips; chicken quesadilla, beans with rice and a lovely little taco carnitas, all muy bien, trust me. 

for dessert, refreshing fruit juices, the best ever, documented below! 

no more stress! nada!
