Excellent service, she is really pleased with the earrings and their packaging and presentation.We have tried to purchase Mexican Folk Art in the past over the web and failed, so it's really, really good to receive such excellent service. She tells me that she'll be back.

ABOUT THE DAY OF THE DEAD
The skulls used in the images use the traditional Mexican celebration called "El Dia de los Muertos" as a motif. On this day the Mexican culture remembers those who have passed with good thoughts and happiness. The Mexican culture views death as a point in a circle, not an end. They celebrate this day with Marigolds, candy and song. The skulls have nothing to do with satanic beliefs, poison, black magic or pirates.
