Dickens on the Strand!

It's been way too long since I've been to Galveston's Dickens on the Strand! 8 years at least. It was extremely crowded in a Victorian setting - much fun was had!

The Witchery Witches Ball & Galveston

This year I finally went to the Witchery Witches Ball in Galveston, Tx. It was held in a very lovely historic Masonic Lodge - much fun was had! We (Jessica, Stephen and I) also wondered about the old city, had good eats and stayed in an adorable Victorian airbnb.

Bella's 11th Birthday

My Sweet Siren turned 11 - such a magical number!

We had a small gathering at Old Moon Deli & Pie and headed for the beach!

Synister on the Strand - Galveston

While we were in Galveston, we wanted to check out a shop called Synister which is located on the Strand in Galveston. As we walked in we were greeted by a lovely girl, Shannon and her charming Sinister furry friend.

It was rad seeing a physical store of this kind since now it seems everything is online only. It's nice to be able to actually SEE and FEEL the items of interest!...and what are the items this shop carries? I would say a Rockabilly/Steam Punk/Touch of Darkness mix of wonders that awaits you to come have a look yourself at 2301 Strand St #102, Galveston, TX 77550.

Galveston Pleasure Pier

Had a wonderful day at the Galveston Pleasure Pier with our good friends Jessica and Lilith.

I actually rode almost all the rides which I haven't done in YEARS! I must admit, I got nauseous towards the end of the day and hours after I got home but it was all worth it.

My favorite was the Pirate Water Ride and the Sea Dragon and of course just being by the sea! Fun times indeed.

Old Moon Deli and Pie

Over the weekend, I visited Margaret & Patrick's new Deli called Old Moon Deli and Pie!

Margaret, who is also the cellist for the Darkly Victorian music ensemble Two Star Symphony, has done an amazing job with everything about this place! A true beauty to get lost in time along with fresh outstanding eats and PIE! I'm also loving the blackberry lemonade that I wish I had EVERYDAY.

Congrats Margaret & Patrick! Galveston is sooo lucky to have you.
