After the first time I vacationed in Mexico in the 70’s, I knew it was where I wanted to retire when the time came.  So, in late 2013, I moved from Oklahoma to San Miguel. Today, SMA is my home.

Like many, I’m a maker at heart. Often when I see something I really like, I think: “I wonder if I can make that?”

While you might recognize my name from the local bill payment service I’ve run for the past ten years, crafting is a real passion for me. Some years back, I realized that sitting at craft shows was not what I wanted to do anymore.  I finally came up with the idea to launch this website to give myself and all the many talented creators here in SMA a fresh, stress-free outlet to sell their handmade goods.
