The Proper Printshop is one of a few local shops who have committed to donating the proceeds of the tees to the victims families. I really appreciate this since it leaves a sour taste in my mouth for any business to profit off someone else's tragedy. As unfortunate as the circumstances are that made me discover this awesome shop, I'm grateful to have found this place and it will now be my go to place for all things printing. They not only do t-shirts, but stickers, buttons, hats, graphic posters, embroidery work, etc. Let's all support this shop and buy local because they in turn support our beloved Chuco town. #elpasostrong

This wonderful treasure has been open for many years, and I hope it continues for many more.

Such a great selection, pricing was reasonable for the value, condition and selections. I purchased two books, with others on my list for my next visit. On the porch area, there is a section for FREE books and when you enter you will see NEW arrivals before you make your way through and see other categories such as banned books, horror, espanol, cooking, and historical. It's super cute, quiet and you'll fall in love with the ambiance. The children's section is great! Also, another cute detail was the small mini refrigerator with a sign that read "Have a FREE beverage on us!" I selected the Berry Vanilla Bubly Sparking water. A special and warm shoutout to the kind staff that was present and smiling wide throughout our whole visit, THANK YOU Dorian.

I love art so I could spend hours here. I enjoy learning about all types and just looking at it. My…read morewhole life has always involved art somehow. I've taken classes, I have relatives who are talented artists, I've met several artists in my life. Anyway...Flor de Barro offers classes to the community. They start at around $35 and up. They invite the public to have mimosas on Sunday afternoons. They also have other events for anyone whose interested. For example, their Dia de los Muertos altar/art was great. I enjoyed seeing it very much. They even gave out hot cocoa and pan de muerto to visitors. Follow them on social media and/or check out their website for more info. You can also subscribe to their email blasts. The main thing Flor de Barro is known for is their hand crafted pottery from Mata Ortiz. Mata Ortiz is a small village in Chihuahua, Mexico. It's a 4.5 hour drive from El Paso. Some of the art is pricey but beautiful to look at. However, smaller pieces are really affordable. I saw a tiny pot I really love for $6. I'll most likely go back and get it. There are some larger pieces that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The staff is always friendly and hospitable. I like that they don't pressure anyone into buying the art. They let you look around and take photos freely. They're all about building genuine relationships with those who visit. Flor de Barro seems to update their inventory often. I saw a beautiful nativity scene that wasn't there a month ago. Those who aren't in El Paso can also shop online via their website. Several, if not all of these pieces, would make fine gifts. I highly recommend visiting Flor de Barro, whether you plan on buying something or not. We're supposed to learn something new everyday. I think you will here.
