Flashback Friday

I chose this picture as my FlashBack Friday as I am sadden to say that I found out this week that my friend Alisha (with the long braids) passed away. You will be missed but I know you are still here spiritually - we had a strong sister witch connection that will always be ....

Patty Cakes Bakery

I could never pass up an inviting colorful bakery such as this one in Galveston, Tx - Patty Cakes! The Petite Fours were so amazing I regret I didn't get a whole box of them! If only I had one now... this place is a must visit along with their sister restaurant, Mosquito Café.

Time to drool now ...

Galveston Home Tour Part 2, 2014

I cannot even begin to tell you how beautiful this home was inside, sigh...

Wood floors, tall ceilings, grand triple staircase, to the floor windows, fireplaces and all the antique Victorian furniture and painting. It also had a Asian decorated room, which in most of my previous tours has discovered that most Victorian homes had Asian Victorian décor. This home also had huge bedrooms with antique beds, long laced curtains, extravagant fixtures, bay windows to look out of while you bathed in the claw foot bath tubs while the fire is burning in the fireplaces - yes, in the bedrooms! The kitchen was breathtaking. High end, up to date appliances dance smoothly with the tradition Victorian stained glass and cabinetry next to a sitting room overlooking the French doors to the lush back yard. And to think that these kind of houses are everywhere in this historic area of Galveston that are mostly used as "vacation homes"! I dream of the day that I could own one of these beauties - hopefully, but until then I will always treasure the home tours, even if it's all I'm going to have.

My Paul Neyron

My beautiful antique rose, the Paul Neyron has bloomed. I started her out as from a bare root to this lovely little lady!

 

 

My Baby Gypsy

My daughter had her Talent Show today at school and we came up with this song and skirt ;) Even though she was sky, she still shined ;)

 

 

The Forrest & Me - by Bella
I like dancing in the forest with the forest cat.
I like picking flowers and watch the flying bats.
Why don't you come play with me, under the forest trees,
We can run in the grass and find the deep blue sea.

My Oceans

I have a fascination with ships and stormy seas. I have dreams that I am running into the ocean, put my hands into the water and pull out objects that mean something or they are telling me a story, perhaps of the Future, Past or Spells being done. Sometimes I wonder how the ocean plays into my past lives but I know that in my dreams I am overjoyed when the ocean comes to me.

Come To Me

Milk, Candy & JuJu

I needed to pick up some groceries today and a few spells! Yes, here in Texas, you will find a botanica spiritual aisle at your local grocery stores - these photo's are taken at Feista. Obviously there is a high demand for it around here! I remember as a young child seeing all this eye candy of candles & potions and then it all began ...

Galveston, Tx. Home Tour Part 1

Last weekend I took my mother to the Galveston Home Tour for Mother's day - we try to go every year. My love for historic homes is very well known. I get such enjoyment adoring and chasing the souls of such beauties, inside and out.

For this entry, I will show you the Lucas Terrance Apartments which were the Lucas Row Apartment before the Galveston storm hit in the 1900. This place has always caught my attention and was thrilled to have been able to tour the inside but sadly we are not allowed to take photos inside the homes which were absolutely beautiful.
