Lovepop 3D cards are laser cut and intricately made to really make a statement. They are beautiful and it’s simply a joy to receive one in the mail. We’ve been fortunate as an affiliate to receive several of their cards. We’ve kept their Baby Yoda one and given as gifts the cherry blossom and mixed floral bouquet. It’s Halloween season and our favorite time of the year so we thought we’d post about Lovepop’s fall and Halloween collections and show you some of what they offer.

Oakland Cemetery’s Sunday in the Park is returning this Sunday, September 26th, for its 43rd year. Every fall, the Historic Oakland Foundation has hosted this annual Victorian festival. It’s built on a tradition of people visiting their dead when they would picnic next to the graves and bring refreshments or sit on the lawns and enjoy the green space. Sunday in the Park is one of many events Oakland hosts throughout the year. This year the event will also feature their music festival Tunes from the Tomb. It’s an outdoor experience not to be missed in Atlanta!

In my second of three posts about Reverend Howard Finster I’ll talk about his work and show what I photographed on my visit to his museum and gallery. The first post was about the cozy Air BnB I stayed in across the street from his museum and garden in Summerville, Georgia. Our timing for writing about this artist is the upcoming festival know as “Finster Fest” that will be held in a few weeks. Howard Finster was a self-taught or outsider artist. Outsider artists are typically those that have no art training and exist outside the mainstream art world. Fantasy, unconventional ideas, and at times extreme mental stress can be found in their art. In his case, he started with an outsider’s viewpoint and moved into sacred art later in life. Self-portrait Paradise Garden Museum Finster was born in rural Alabama in 1961. At the age of 3, he saw…
A Dream BY EDGAR ALLAN POE In visions of the dark nightI have dreamed of joy departed—But a waking dream of life and lightHath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by dayTo him whose eyes are castOn things around him with a rayTurned back upon the past? That holy dream—that holy dream,While all the world were chiding,Hath cheered me as a lovely beamA lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro’ storm and night,So trembled from afar—What could there be more purely brightIn Truth’s day-star? Source: PoetryFoundation.org
