It was a pretty steep climb up to Rosario’s house, followed by a couple flights of stairs up to Bladimir’s Workshop.   After taking a few seconds at the top to catch our breath, under the guise of admiring the view, we stepped into the single room workshop built on top of their house.

Salvador has a booth at the weekend silver market, called Tianguis. He works all week to make the jewelry that he brings to his booth to sell in a 5 hour rush of people from all over the world.

His beautiful teardrop necklaces and the love knot rings are always our best sellers.

Crisanto's Cool Cars

Crisanto's Cool Cars

I met Crisanto on one of my first shopping trips to Taxco.  His shop was bright and beautifully arranged and I fell in love with his displays of the vintage-inspired jewelry that initially drew me to Taxco.  He also had a poster of a Porsche on the back wall above his desk. I don’t speak a lot of Spanish, but I do speak Car.  There was an instant connection.
