Canastas Chiapanecas

Baskets from Chiapas.  One of the many great things about Oaxaca, and probably most of Mexico, is that one can often get things straight from the source via the ubiquitous popup roadside stands.  On any given day, you can get almost anything from food to furniture depending on who sets up where.  Today, it was all these fantastic woven pieces from Chiapas. 

This was just down the road from me and kind of a curious place to set up although he must have known what he was doing, because people were checking things out. 

I was tempted, but was out on errands.  Now that I think about it, I may go back.  I did see a couple of things that were calling my name.
