This morning was chilly and we had the fireplace on. It all looked so cozy with our new little red rooster proudly crowing on the mantle.
He joined us during our recent trip to Talapaque, near Guadalajara.
Just so you don't think we starve for fruit here, I took a photo of the fresh strawberries and bananas available most of the time we are here. We had been getting luscious blackberries in the market from Michoacán and actually saw the berry fields as we drove through there on our recent trip, but the season seems to be over until next year.
The napkins and rings are from the Sunday market in Tonala near Guadalajara and the table runner is from Ross in San Antonio Texas. The label says Made in India but it fits right in.
Our plates are a copy of an old Puebla design made and bought locally. My mother brought similar plates from Puebla during her trip to Mexico in the early 1940s and my family ate on them for special occasions. Nowadays tableware is clearly marked "lead free" but in those days, I wonder.
