For years I have admired the amazing candles I have seen in the church at Teotitlan del Valle. I finally found one of the families that makes them and ordered a couple of large white beauties. Actually, it was no too hard to find the Vasquez family. It must have been that large sign in front of there place on the the main drag, Av. Juarez No. 84. How could I have missed it before?
It took a couple of weeks for them to be done, but it was Semana Santa and they were very busy as you can imagine. Well worth the wait. don't you think?
The flowers, rosas y callas, are all wax and it was hot today, so it was the first time I used the AC in the car. They were happy and so am I.

I've been looking all over Mexico for these sort of candles and when I ask, no one knows what i am talking about!
Finally I found this via google! Its gorgeous!
Do you have any idea where I might be able to purchase these candles in the US? Or from Mexico to have it shipped to the US?
any suggestions would be appreciated!
Many thanks!

Yes, there are a couple of places in Teotitlan del Valle. Just as you enter the village, after the curve there is a tope and just after that, there are signs for velas on both the left and the right. That's where I got these.
