California Adventure 2018 - Part 4

Day 5

So, there were many things in Los Angeles that I wanted to see that Samantha wasn't too keen on, one of the things being the Bradbury Building that was featured in Blade Runner. Since I just wanted to run in and glance around, I asked Sammi to drive so I could just hop out, knowing how the parking situation is downtown. She agreed and almost instantaneously regretted it. This was the only time she drove in L.A.
Anyway, I ran in and snapped a few hurried pictures, there are far better pictures elsewhere of this beautiful building. 





From there, we went on to Venice Beach. It was a nice day, not overly hot or sunny, a good breeze coming off the ocean. We decided we would walk down the boardwalk to Santa Monica Pier. We didn't realize it would be that much of a walk, a little over 2 miles one way. But it was a good time, lots of sidewalk artists and performers with several little souvenir shops and restaurants. 






The pier was fun, even though we didn't ride any rides, it was a unique experience to reach the end of Route 66.





Next post is about visiting the M*A*S*H filming site and Griffith Observatory!

August 2019 Review

I know it's not quite the end of the month, but the next few days are going to be crazy busy (I'll write about it in a separate post!) so I thought I would go ahead and post this month's review! This month I... -Went to lots of estate sales  I got this beauty and several other bones/oddities at a few different estate sales. This is Jolene (as dubbed by Matt) and now I need to go shopping for more wigs and little hats for her. I'm currently waiting on giant fake eyelashes for her too. - Got to Hang out with these kiddos I got to spend some one-on-one time with some of my nieces and nephews! We watched a movie, went swimming, and played at the park. Good times! -Watched the second season of Mindhunter Not everyone's cuppa tea, but if you have an interest in psychology or true crime, Mindhunter delivers. -Finished up some things for the Oddities and Curiosities Expo I finally got back into drawing...

January Review 2020

This month I... - Was a bridesmaid in my friend Becca's wedding! I'm honored to have been present for the start of their new life together. -Have been gearing up for another Oddities show in Tulsa. It's next month, so I'll be posting about it more at the end of February. But here's a couple things I've been working on! -Got a new friend for the collection. Meet Rufus, the derpy bobcat. Matt and I drove an hour to get him and he now sits proudly on the piano until we can potentially find a more suitable place. Matt pets him and tells him he's pretty. Apart from lots of work and lots of lazy days when we can get them, this month has flown by with not a lot of fanfare. I think we've recovered from the holidays and have begun preparations for the coming months. Between making lots of new bug things and wedding planning, I keep my mind busy.

September 2019 Review

This month I... -Was a vendor at the Oddities & Curiosities Expo (It was actually at the end of August, but, whatever.) This went so well! I sold my target amount and received so many kind comments and even had people return to buy more! I'm looking forward to next year and hoping to maybe expand to a couple shows. I was able to snag a couple amazing things while at the expo, including this adorable kitten! -Started wedding planning We booked our venue and found a photographer, both in our budget! -Saw IT: Chapter 2 If it's September, I'm already watching scary movies. But that's true nearly year round. -Walked around Parkville Nature Sanctuary  -Carved some acorns and pinned more butterflies! (Which you can find on my instagram!  https://www.instagram.com/eclecticcuriosities/ ) September has flown by and I'm looking forward to fall weather in the coming month!
