QUINCE de Septiembre, NOT CINCO de Mayo!!


September in Mexico is very festive. Almost more festive than Christmas ! On almost every corner can be seen this. There are Mexican flags everywhere, as well as hundreds of different objects for sale that celebrate our nation's freedom. Dolls, hats, streamers, ribbons, barrettes, balls, and of course LOTS of flags, all RED, WHITE and GREEN! VIVA MEXICO!!






Even the cloth store, Nodatelas, has every kind of flag, green, white and red cloth, and paliacates!! YES! I bought a bunch of them of every color they offered and plan to make some quilts - usual, incredible quilts!! Oh! What are paliacates?? Bandanas of course! Not just red, but white, black, pink, orange, yellow, light blue, dark blue, aqua! Imagine the fun!!

Yes, they're getting ready for Christmas as well! See the shimmery "Christmas tree" in the background?



And of course my car is festive too!




As well as our front door!

After the quince (fifteenth), I'll upload some more festively Mexican photos!
