Wednesday's Attic

For our annual anniversary get away, we went up to the Pismo Beach area to a Hot Springs resort. Above is the cove at Avilla Beach Pismo Beach was once famous for its clams. Here is the Pismo version of a pumpkin- a Halloween Clam! Pismo is also Famous for being able to drive on the beach. But you have to use caution, because not everyone follows the right path, and if you follow them you could find yourself in trouble. . . like we did. Scion + Beach = Fail! Priscilla had a great time at the beach, she had a big smile on her face even while we were wondering how we would get the car out of the sand. Thankfully some kind strangers helped us! Once we were unstuck and driving on the right part of the sand, this fellow came to see if we had any  food which we did not. View of the beach when your car is not stuck in the sand. Aarrgghh! Not sure what these posts were for, but they were interesting. We took a walk around the area- very pretty. We also found our way ...

This year for Samhain I made a small personal, portable altar. Here it is with sweets for the ancestors. On the right is my black scrying mirror reflecting the candles lit for all the ancestors. This friendly guy sits atop the curio cabinet that holds most of my Day of the Dead collection. We keep him up there and he wears a santa hat at Yule.

These are the great Halloween cupcakes that my daughter made. They were a wonderful addition to our holiday fun this year.

This is one of my favorite places to go. My husband and I fell in love in this garden.  We stopped by for a Coffee and a sit in the shade on the way home from our family Halloween outing of Cemetery photography. This garden is a no Poop zone so it is extra nice!
