After losing her, I became deeply connected to Día de los Muertos as a beautiful way to honor and remember her.I began decorating her grave marker with colorful crosses and flower vases. When Día de los Muertos came around, I created a small altar for her with cempasúchil flowers, crosses, and meaningful decorations.From that tradition, these beautiful crosses were created. They can be used to decorate a loved one’s grave at the cemetery or to add a special touch to your Día de los Muertos altar at home.I only made three colors, and I have a very limited number of each one. They are colorful, beautiful, and most importantly, they were created from a place of love and remembrance.I hope they can become a special part of your own Día de los Muertos tradition. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/cf733690-c38f-11f1-8964-5b65d1557b86-rimg-w455-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/cf7fb9b0-c38f-11f1-8964-5b65d1557b86-rimg-w342-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/cfa5df50-c38f-11f1-8964-5b65d1557b86-rimg-w342-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg Meet Our Vendor: Chi Girls Creations!We are excited to have Chi Girls Creations joining us at our Día de los Muertos Market!
