“My daughter-in-law loved it!”

My daughter-in-law is part Latina and she is the one who taught me about sugar skulls and Dia De Los Muertos traditions, so I was sure shed appreciate this lovely candle. It is very well made and its even prettier than the pictures here. The colors are vibrant and just beautiful!

Very nicely done. Too pretty to actually burn, of course, so I expect him to be around for quite a while.
