Today at the Mexican Day of The Dead Festival at The Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. I have a soft spot in my heart for these young Mariachi players.

This picture was taken today at Target– where the holiday season is already stocked and ready to go behind the 30 percent off pumpkins and gargoyles. (Is it possible that flamingo with the santa hat is $44.99? Is that really possible? Join me and buy handmade this season!)
