Coming out of the pandemic in the spring of 2021 we were looking to find a spot to feature our pottery from
Capula, Michoacán. We thought we had an outside chance of getting one of the temporary stands that surround
Plaza San Jacinto on Saturdays. That never came together, which turned out to be a good thing. Because we soon learned of spaces opening up within
Bazar San Ángel (not Bazaar Sábado, which is maybe 100m or so down the street). We signed up and starting in June 2021 "Paskwarho" had a little bricks and mortar location, with a couple of modest shelves tucked way in the back. The whole Bazar has gone through some serious evolution since then. It's now on par with any other shop in the area and we find ourselves with a few more shelves in the front room.
Since June 2021 I've spent virtually every Saturday there, manning our stall from 11-7. Just recently we have worked out an arrangment where I can get most of my Saturdays back. So I pop over there at 10:30-ish, bringing some pieces to restock the shelves.
Then around 11:30 -12:00 I cut out for the day. Still getting accustomed to the feeling of having some extra time in my week. Today we used a bit of it 'turisteando' in the area, like we first did back in 2007 during a spring break trip from Chicago.
