Milagros Para Ti is an eclectic arts'n'crafts store and folk
art gallery in Coatepec, Veracruz. offers folk-art in a dazzling
wealth of form, color and fantasy. Much of what you will find in Milagros
Para Ti is made as it has been for hundreds of years. Markets and
small villages have been combed to find the most creative and enduring
pieces. Pottery is still formed by hand, natural dyes are made from
plants and insects collected from the countryside, copper is hand-pounded
into wonderful utensils, rugs are woven on ageless looms, and life is
breathed into pieces of wood as they take shape in the hands of master
carvers. The themes used in folk-art come from the experiences of daily
life giving us a glimpse into the rich and vital traditions of Mexico.
Our "milagros" are the creations of a corps of very talented
artists and craftsmen. All of what Milagros Para Ti offers has
been designed and hand-crafted by individuals whose work is of the finest
quality. We work not only with folks who have the distinction of having
been named "grand masters of Mexico Folk Art" but also with
newer up and coming artists whose talents we want to share with you.
Milagros Para Ti strives to bring you the best in Mexican folk
art, crafts and gifts. Browse our catalogue and make your selection.
Our stock is what you see: once an item has sold most likely a different
(although similar) object will replace it. All our items have been personally
selected by Debbie and are usually one of a kind. Our goal is to present
Mexico's finest folk art and crafts at the fairest possible prices.

New traditions are also being forged. Mexican "pewter" began
as a response to the world shortage of pewter. It is really re-cycled
aluminum molded into beautiful pieces often incorporating pre-Hispanic
designs. Cross-stitch decorates borders of hand-woven shawls. Baby rompers
delight grandmothers with their hand-embroidered colorfast whimsical
designs. Hand-made paper becomes luminous lampshades and cherished photo
albums. The different regions of Oaxaca are celebrated in the songs
of Susana Harp whose voice is as sweet as the breezes drifting through
the mountain regions.
Milagros Para Ti offers you the best of Mexico, both ancient
and modern.
Enjoy browsing through our catalog. The items you select are truly one-of-a-kind,
