Blogging the Alphabet - Here's the D!

Here's the D entry in the Bea Otch blog.  Enjoy!

When thinking of D items, I immediately thought of Dia de los Muertos.  Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is the day to remember friends and family who have passed away.  This day is celebrated on November 1 and 2 primarily in Mexico.  This holiday is known for its food, parties, and art.  Here are some great Etsy listings with this holiday theme....

Here are some listings from some other great Etsy artists...




























This has been a fun trip through art inspired by Dia de los Muertos. Stay tuned for my next blog post where we'll uncover a topic starting with the letter E.  Let  me know if you have any good E ideas in the comments section.  Thanks for reading!
