I’ve been purchasing from la fuente for several years. Good quality and beautiful products. Great Customer service if something is back ordered and they always take care in packing things so they get to you without damage. I purchased the Lupita doll for a dear friend. I have one myself and we both love them. I’m glad to also support these wonderful artists and craftsmen who produce the products. Thank you La fuente! Ps I loved when you had pottery from Nicaragua
