In 1984, I made a trip to Mazatlan, Mexico with my mother. It was fun to look through the old photo album and remember the trip and think about what items I have from Mexico that I could sketch to go with the photo album. The earrings are from Mexico, but were actually a gift to me in High School from my best friend growing up. She brought them back from Mexico after attending a Senior Girl Scout trip there. The handpainted plate was one of several that were given to me by an elderly friend of the family many years ago. Miss Jessie had travelled the world and this is one of the things she brought back from Mexico in the early 1900's. I saw many more like it when we visited the markets in Mazatlan!
