A Trip to the Botanica
Today was nearly 70 degrees! I had a happy day. I talked to my cousin in Florida and had a fun conversation. I told her I want to do antique ornaments on the Yule tree this year. She said she has a box of them that she's gonna send me. On lunch I went to Valley Fair and got a wicked wall shelf and beautiful shell container. Later on Skeetie sent me a little 'I love you' message so all is well in the world.
After work I ventured over to Botanica San Lazaro and this is the first time I've been there since they moved out of Paterson. At first I was a little disappointed. They had an odd variety of goods in a small room and no real Santeria items that I was looking for. Well, THEN I found the hallway and ventured down it and discovered the "Back Room" which was a virtual warehouse of magical items! I was in my glory. Statuary from tiny to enormous, candles, incense, oils, powders, tools OH, you name it. I'll be going there quite regularly.
I came home and added my new goodies to the altar.
I found that magical Maori skull at the Botanica and there is the beautiful shell vessel.
Prayer cards from the Botanica. Mainly Feminine images as I equate them with the Goddess.
The wall shelf.
On my doorstep when I got home was a beautiful box of Fairytale Brownies from Jeannie.
These beautiful, rich, gourmet brownies are to die for.
Thank you Auntie Jeannie! So, all told, it was a perfect day. I hope you are all having perfect days as well and the WEEKEND IS HERE!
Hugs & Blessings~ tinkie xoxo
