My wife and I took a Sunday drive today and went to Stanton, Iowa, a small town with Swedish heritage in southwest Iowa. Our two hour drive took us to see the 35' tall "Watertower Coffeepot" in the center of town on a hill. It holds 50,000 gallons of water and is painted in the Swedish style with bright decorative flowers.
The "coffee connection" comes from a female Stanton native and actress (Virginia Christine) who gained national fame playing Mrs. Olson, the main spokeswoman in Folgers coffee commercials on television during the 1960s to the 1980s.

Another piece of Mexican folk art from a shop in San Antonio, Texas. I tried this also on a yellow background, but unsurprisingly, black worked much better. For 2016: one photo each day (41/366)
I love ethnic costumes, I love folk art dolls and toys, and I love the message. I saw this exhibit at a local museum and sneaked a shot. I tried to reduce the glare from the glass case.
