This is the last day of the year and this is my last review of the year! We have made it through another year and most of us are prepping for the year to come. I hope it to be much less exciting year to come. I’m very tired living in exciting times. I would like for there to be less exciting times. But, we shall persevere and continue moving forward!

I'm on my last day on a family trip to Japan and it feels like the first day to fully slow down and just chill. It helps that my family is out exploring and I'm in the room alone cause my gut wasn't feeling to happy with me.

Anyway, seeing if I can finish up this book of essays on the Red Dead Redemption series by Rockstar Games. I got this at a library conference last year and just now getting around to reading it. I love playing RDR2 so when I saw this I knew I had to have the book! It's definitely fascinating to see what others things about the series and about RDR2 specifically, and I can still enjoy the game and the academic thoughts and essays surrounding the games as well.

The new store, Hilo de Amor, is owned by Esther Wright.

Mexican-born artisan has earned a permanent spot at the Mother Road Market food hall.

Esther Wright, owner of Hilo de Amor, is scheduled to open her shop Friday. A frequent pop-up retailer at the Mother Road’s Vault, Hilo de Amor is designed to showcase the culture and traditions from Wright’s native Oaxaca, Mexico, featuring handmade goods such as tote bags, pottery, decorations and jewelry.

Meaning “Thread of Love,” Hilo de Amor began as a small partnership with a local ministry in Oaxaca. The products now are carried throughout the United States.

“I proudly work with groups of creative artisans to offer the world’s most fantastic textile art,” Wright said in a statement. “When you purchase items from our store, you are actively transforming lives by putting money directly into the hands of an original crafts person. You are empowering Oaxacan families, and bringing long-term solutions.”

Born and reared in Oaxacan, Wright has lived in the United States more than 20 years. In 2018, she left the corporate arena to help her southern Mexico homeland.

Twice a year, the company donates 15% of its proceeds from recycled tote bags to San Miguel Middle School in Tulsa’s Kendall Whittier District. It regularly supports the Hispanic American Foundation and this year will launch a $1,000 annual scholarship to a local young person in need.

The shop is scheduled to be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

Hilo de Amor has been a popular and successful pop-up at Mother Road Market since 2019.

“We are grateful to have merchants like Esther who value community, creativity and authenticity, and we are proud to support artisan Oaxacan makers right here in Tulsa” stated president and CEO of Mother Road Market.
