| Impromptu Shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe, with flea market finds, 2014, Lisa JonesMoore |
I created this "spontaneous" shrine after visiting the Tuesday Market in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I took these lovely items back to the bed and breakfast where I was staying, and created this table-top shrine in the courtyard of the beautiful Casa Carmen. It has been "percolating" in my studio for a year now...I think it's a "keeper". It speaks to me on so many levels. Please visit Recuerda Mi Corazon for more Mary Love, in celebration of the 12 Days of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which is a major festival throughout Mexico in December.
Casa Carmen, vintage items, spontaneous shrine, all speak to my heart.

Tuesday Market is amazing!
DeleteIt never occurred to me to make a shrine out of objects I purchase at garage, estate and thrift shops. What a great idea. I looked at your link to Casa Carmen and it looks so charming. I so hope I get to go one day with Rebecca and group before I get too old to be mobile. I'm 77 and so far I'm moving.
ReplyDeleteIt;s never too late! GO!!! Thanks for visiting...
Deleteonly in mexico would you find these at a flea market, ok maybe in Italy, or greece, or south america, ok maybe many places, but more easily in some than others :-) what a perfect find!
