Calacaville

Say hello to my good friend Wilhemina who ate insects and died (made by Sue Hadden). Another ooky skelly to add to my collection. I also gave one to my beloved friend of 30+ years, Sky. Her birthday is in October so we have an excuse (like we needed one) to get silly.

We went to a restaurant named La Calaca Comelona on SE Belmont here in River City and boy, was the food yummy.

This is how I always think of Sky. She and I get together and do nothing but laugh like two immature teenagers. May it always be so. Happy Birthday, heart of my heart. Many returns.

My studio playmates came for a visit yesterday so we visited the vacas.

And then did some painting and rubber stamping together. We also picked grapes, visited the pigs and goats and enjoyed a repast of mexican food. It was splendid.

Happy Halloween until we meet again. (This Calavera de Catrina is painted on the walkway in from of the aforementioned restaurant. I stuck my foot in there for scale.)

P.S. For all you RaeVn's Nesters who admired my handbag; the seamstress is Liz Elayne, not Lizzie Lane although that would be a great name for a handbag business too. She can be found here.

  9. I love your spooky collection! A girl after my own heart! What a fabulous time you and your friend had -- that food is making me salivate. What a gorgeous painting on the sidewalk outside of the restaurant -- and a very nice green shoe by the way.

    Big hugs!

  14. Hope you're doing OK. Things have been quiet here for a while. Maybe you are taking a well deserved rest. I haven't been able to take much time either since last Sunday, so I should talk! (not) - jeanne
