5 to Buy in Mexico

Thursday, July 8, 2010 by Stephanie

A bonanza of art finds will bring back memories of your "Fun Ship" cruise.

Rich saturated colors...craggy coastlines...emerald-green rainforests- Mexico is a work of art, one you'll want to pack up and take home.  While you can't sneak off with an Aztec ruin, you can snag up the treasures at street markets, galleries and crafts shops on Carnival's Mexican Riviera, Baja and Western Caribbean cruises.  Here are five must haves:

1- Silver and Pewter: Exquisitely crafted Taxco silver jewelry plus pewter plates, trays and bowls.

2- Colorful Pottery: Intricate patterns, shiny glazes, hand-molded curves-functional art.

3- Handwoven Rugs: Vibrant colors to enrich your casa lina (beautiful home).

4- Masks: Dramatic interpretations by Mexican crafters.

5- Folk Art: Marionettes, ornamental tin pieces, dolls, Day of the Dead collections, intricate wood carvings.
