Mystic Museum, Burbank, CA, USA
There is this cute little neighborhood in Burbank on a span of Magnolia Blvd roughly between Cahuenga and N Buena Vista. Many alternative shops, including some vintage clothing, comic book stores, cafes etc. In amongst the other stores is the Mystic Museum. This was my 4th trip to the Bearded Ladies Vintage Oddities to visitContinue reading “Mystic Museum, Burbank, CA, USA”
Japanese Garden, Long Beach, CA
Attending California State University back in the 1980’s I happened upon this little oasis on campus. Back in those days, it was outlying, feeling like a forgotten part of campus. There was no pyramid, no parking structure, no dorms. Being over 30 years ago, can hardly remember the first time finding this hidden gem andContinue reading “Japanese Garden, Long Beach, CA”
The Bunny Museum
Cute and Quirky Museum Unfortunately the Bunny Museum was burned to the ground in the California fire January 2025 and all the bunnies are sadly gone. They are raising funds to rebuild and I am hoping to visit again one day (but it won’t be quite the same). Another Monday out on the road. AContinue reading “The Bunny Museum”
Claremont Village
Was in need of a tall narrow curio cabinet. I found myself scrolling through Facebook marketplace and whoola, there is exactly what I was looking for, and cheap, to boot. Of course there was a small little glitch, it was in La Verne, CA, approximately 1 hour north (on a good day without traffic) ofContinue reading “Claremont Village”
Guo Pei Exhibit
San Francisco – Legion Of Honor The Guo Pei exhibit in San Fransico was extensive, overwhelming (in a good way) and magical. Whether sophisticated, traditional, whimsical, avant guarde, or dark and moody, exquisite design and intricate details punctuate all of Guo Pei’s creations. More art than fashion, it seemed appropriate to be viewing the dressesContinue reading “Guo Pei Exhibit”

Marvelous Garden in Corona Del Mar, CA Halloween at Roger’s Gardens I first went to Roger’s Gardens over 20 years ago. It is less of a garden, although you can buy plants, and more of a magical experience. Roger’s Gardens was at the forefront of immersing the client into a a themed shopping experience, notContinue reading “October 22”

Legendary Puppet Theatre It is nice to see the Bob Baker Marionette Theater is sold out for the Halloween Spooktacular and the specialty Halloween shows. This is the longest running marionette theater in the United States, and an institution in the LA arts scene. Opened in downtown Los Angeles in 1963, they have moved toContinue reading “October 20”
