Mirror, "Fiesta in My Homeland"
The nativity takes place in an Andean stable and below, herdsmen in traditional Peruvian dress appear with llamas. To the left, a market stall offers hats for sale while carnival masks are sold on the right. Visualized by Alejandro Chávez, the images are portrayed in a novel mirror frame. Known as a retablo, the diorama's intricate hand-shaped figurines are housed in a colorful wood chest.

"Something to cheer me up!"





I ordered this beautiful mirror because I needed something to cheer me up. Good news, it did. The detail of vendors selling hats and face masks for fiesta has me smiling every time I look at it. I have ethnic items throughout my home from personal travels. I dont have any artistic gifts myself; but, I certainly enjoy the work of those who do!

"Perfect for Celebrating Christmas"





Our youngest grandkids love this little all in one nativity. It is sturdy enough that they can handle it without the fear of them breaking it. We have cherished this for many years, and look forward to bringing it out for Christmas for many more years to come!
