BEST PLACE TO BUY A SUGAR SKULL

The Willow House

149 West McDowell Road
602-252-0272

We love the art that celebrates Días de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead — the enormous papier-mâché skeletons, the smaller scenes that depict the dead doing everything from writing at the typewriter to performing surgery in the operating room. But damn, sometimes that art can be expensive! So when we want a quick, sweet (but — warning — not edible) Day of the Dead fix, we head to the Willow House, where we can find a beautiful (in its way) sugar skull, made deep in Mexico and decorated with the traditional brightly colored sugar frosting and shiny tinfoil, for $4. On a recent trip to Willow, we also found a lovely cardboard Jesus air freshener to hang in the car.
