This is an old photo from a trip I did to Mexico and Riviera Maya some years ago.
Found these handpainted sink's and I wish I bought one, even if it probably would have been difficult to tahe them home on a plane.
I live in Sweden and write for a living, as a journalist and writer. In this blog I talk about my mother Gunvor's work as an artist, my travel around the world and a lot more.

Mirrors of Mexico
I have more photos from Mexico, more shopping ideas. First we have some very nice mirrors with metal frames - with inlaid ceramic plates - that I found in a street in Playa del Carmen.
Then we have this skeleton made of wood. I can't say I want one at home, but it is really nice in some wierd way. In Mexico you have Día de Muertos, the Day of the dead and that is probably why you can find these skeletons in most all of the shops.

Can you imagine having one in your living room?

Pyramids - this time in Mexico
Some years ago I was, as you have seen before her on my blog, in Mexico. But it was not only sun, sea and shopping for me.
Of course I also wisited the famous Chichén Itzá. It was just 2h's drive from Riviera Maya. Here you can see the famous pyramid. You could no longer get up on it, like I did one the pyramids in Cairo very long time ago. Read more about that here: http://agnetanisbeth.blogspot.com/2011/11/on-top-of-pyramid.html

Here you can se more of the ruins in the area.
And here you can see a Cenote, a natural sink hole. Here you can take a swim, I did not, but I did put a foot in the water... It was to cold for me.

More shop's in Mexico
Here is even more of these beautiful sink's that I found in Mexico, and Rivera Maya. This is just one more of the many shops in Playa del Carmen that sold sink's in hand painted ceramic.
Perfect in the bathroom or kitchen back home. Only problem is the transport.

And here is something else that you can find everywhere in Mexico. Lizards.
But these ones are made of wood.

More Mexico
Here is some more photos from Mexico, the first one is from the chic hotel of Deseo Hotel & Lounge in Playa del Carmen.
A place for the trendy crowd. Perfectly placed in Playa, where the action is - at 5th ave. With comfy sunbeds that are made to make the guests fall to sleep.
Then you have this shops, just further in Playa del Carmen, where the turists seldom goes. One Polleria where you can get roasted chicken, cheap too.
But this is the most important for the turists of Playa del Carmen - the beach and the lovely warm turqoise sea water.

Love these
Some years ago I was in Mexico and found these sinks in hand painted ceramic. They are so nice, and I really wish that I bought one.
I want one like that in my kitchen that I am going to renovate next year. Maybe I can find one on another trip abroad or even here in Sweden.
