San Sebastian Rustic
Etsy Link: San Sebastian Rustic 'Estsy Store'
Oh what a Saturday it has been, I feel like I purchased the entire store and managed to spend under $200.00.
San Sebastian is in the little ole town of Brawley about an hour and a half outside the Coachella Valley and two hours outside of San Diego.
The shop is owned by Vanessa Vaca a local Frida Kahlo fanatic and all around clever lady! She has a knack for design and can turn any drab room into a Mexican Hacienda.
I have driven past her store for the past 5 odd years always thinking it was a nursery or an outdoor furniture store, it wasn't until I searched local sellers on Etsy did I truly find out what this place has to offer.
I am an avid fan of Talavera and now that I have my Tangerine Kitchenaid Mixer I needed to incorporate more Tangerine in my Talavera. I noticed on the San Sebastian Facebook page that they were selling a piece that reads "mi casa es su casa, salte de mi cocina". The literal translation is "my house is your house, stay out of my kitchen" but the physical translation is "my house is your house, but stay the HELL out of my kitchen". I had to have it so I ordered it!
I took the drive down to the lower desert not expecting to drag my lazy ass into San Sebastian's physical location however 2 hours prior to closing I needed something to do, so off I went!
The store is full of house items and gifts straight from Mexico! Everything from Talavera painted pigs(life size) to wrought iron head board and large elaborate entrance pieces made from reclaimed wood. It reminded me of a chaotic Mexican Market that you could find in Mexicali but it all blended together so well.
Purchased:
1 Talavera Soap Dish
1 Talavera Kitchen Sign
1 Talavera Soup Spoon holder
1 Talavera Tissue Box cover
4 Virgin de Guadalupe Christmas Ornaments (they were on sale!!!)
1 Set of 3 Talavera Cookie Jars
1 Virgen de Guadalupe reclaimed wood votive
Enjoy the pictures!
