We have these great bronzed crowning heart nichos in stock -- they're like the shiny silver natural ones but in a great coppery, bronzy (I know that's not a word!) finish that is beautiful:

We were able to negotiate a really great price for these so they are only $12.00 (plus shipping)!

These aged tin hand nichos are available in left or right hands and are also really quite nice. See below:

We were so excited to find a source for these alpaca silver hand nicho necklaces/pins. They are quite nicely made. There is a slot on the top for sliding your own photo (or ATC or mini-collage) into it so it's easy to personalize. There's both a hanging loop and a soldered pin back on the reverse.

We also have these antiqued, natural hand nichos in stock:

These great little fun and kitchy Mexican books are also in stock. We have limited availability on them so get them while you can!

Another new item are these wonderful little ex voto style milagro plaques:

When it rains, it pours! Many of our orders placed have finally shipped so we have lots of new merchandise to share with you!

First up, a selection of very small nichos (most measure 3x4 or thereabouts). We have these in a couple of finishes: natural (shiny) tin and aged tin. We have an assortment of different designs, including the tiniest flaming heart nicho that we've ever offered with a square niche that is really adorable and just in time for Valentine's day.

This is just a sample of what we have in this group:

aged tin small horizontal nicho with cross

And speaking of Valentine's Day, we have these truly wonderful crowning heart nichos in a great size, with curved doors and access to the niche in the rear. These come in two finishes: bright tin and bright tin with antiquing. These measure 6.5 inches wide (from wing tip to wing tip), 6.5 inches tall. Nicho is approximately 2.5 inches by 3 inches and 1/2 inch deep.

Put a picture of you and your beloved inside for a great Valentine's day gift!

We have special pricing on all of our new tin nichos!

Just in are these very special large painted tin Day of the Dead bridge and groom ornaments.
Two designs measure approximately 6x8 inches and 7x9 inches and are nicely painted a dramatic black and white.
