MARY ANN MOSS
Howdy, I'm Mary Ann Moss, the chimp at the helm of this ship. I've been blogging right here since 2007 and exploring the world & driving getaway cars since 1963.
Love the photos of Mary & Syd, Syd & Mayan señora!! Happy traveling to all of you! I hope I’ll be seeing Syd & Mary at the Casa in February!
Oh, the textiles. Makes my fingers itch. Gotta go weave.
What a riot of riches.. fabric ..food ..friends. Fabulous !
Such glorious colors in beautiful fabrics. With good friends to enjoy it all. Loved the sketch!
If nothing else, you should bring home some of those textiles ~ they are breath-taking!!!
wow, omg, yowza {insert any and all positive exclamations here}! you have driven my desire to return to guatemala to all-time heights! your pictures allow me to recall the scents and breeze again. thank you, mary ann. what an intoxicating gift you’ve given me.
And a good time was had by all! Thanks for the new photos, Mary Ann! And thank you especially for the little painting of Mary:). Sweet! I want that red and white striped thingie…bag? When you get home I have a book I want to send you. I swear, the writing reminds me of your writing and style of humor. I could NOT put it down last night. I doubt you have time right now to bury your nose in a book. Too much to see and do and paint! I will ask for your mailing address when you get home. Until then, Live, Laugh, Love….and eat, drink, paint, smell, trek, and partake!
I love the colors and the textures you are showing. there is so much life and vibrance in each piece. The food looks so scrumptious.
love and thanks
That’s it.
Oh my, oh my, oh my.. All of those scrumptious textiles. I would feel like I had arrived in heaven and I would for sure leave broke! What an absolute treat. And I love that sketch.
