Origen

07/04/2026

✨ A milestone.

A few weeks ago, I received an email asking if VoyageHouston would interview me about Origen Artesanía Única.

My first thought?
"This has to be a scam!" 😅
Thankfully, it wasn't.

Today, seeing our story published feels surreal.
What started as a passion for sharing authentic artisan work from México has grown into something I never imagined.

Every market, every sourcing trip, every early morning setup, every customer who has chosen to support our small business has helped make this moment possible.

I'm incredibly grateful to the artisans in México who trust me to share their beautiful work, to my family and friends who have encouraged me from the beginning, and to each of you who has supported Origen over the years.

This recognition is not the finish line.

It inspires me to continue growing, learning, and honoring the incredible craftsmanship and traditions of México.

Thank you, VoyageHouston, for sharing our story.
❤️ This is just the beginning.

A little life update 🤍

Due to unexpected changes, my space at Painted Tree Boutiques has officially closed.

While this wasn’t something I saw coming, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who supported me there and stopped by to shop 💜 Mil Gracias 🙏

This isn’t the end—just a new chapter.

You can still find me at upcoming markets (including Nutcracker Spring Market, April 17–19 at NRG Center, Booth 204 🌸) and I’ll be sharing more ways to shop very soon.

Thank you for continuing to support my small business and the artisans behind each piece—it truly means everything 🤍

This sudden change affects so many fellow vendor friends in the area so please support your local vendors if you can! 🫶

Handcrafted with tradition, patience, and heart 🤍

These beautiful pottery pieces come from Jalapa, Veracruz, where Doña Socorro Hernández and her family carefully hand-sculpt each one.

From Árboles de la Vida to candle holders, incense holders, and decorative pieces—every detail tells a story of culture, faith, and artistry passed down through generations.

No two pieces are exactly alike… and that’s what makes them so special ✨

Available now 💜
Come see them in person at our upcoming events—details coming soon!
