I feel a lot like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland running all around and out of time for most everything. I am a little late in telling you about a fabulous festival that’s held every year in Atlanta where the arts community showcases the power of photography in our lives. The month of October in Atlanta has an exciting event known as the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Festival (ACPFest). Artists from around the southeast contribute work that’s displayed in exhibitions held just about anywhere around town. Georgia State University, the Atlanta Photography Group Gallery, the heart of Midtown with a mural, art galleries, public art spaces, libraries, shop windows – so many shows to see. One recent fun event happened when the Little 5 Points neighborhood hosted their 3rd annual L5Hallowine Photo Crawl on October 6th where attendees sampled treats while they strolled around and viewed photography displayed in store…
The annual Finster Fest will be held on October 9th and 10th at the Howard Finster Paradise Garden in Summerville, Georgia. Not to be missed if you’re an outsider and folk art fan. There will be artist talks, music, children’s activities, and art displays. Learn more about the event and the schedule here.
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! Credit: Jennifer Graham Oakland Cemetery’s description: “Enjoy the sunset over the Atlanta skyline as the music flows from Oakland’s North Public Grounds. Headlining this year’s Tunes from the Tombs music festival are The Original Wailers and Jupiter Coyote. You’ll also enjoy pop-up performances throughout the day.

My third and last post on traveling and staying at the Howard Finster Paradise Garden in Summerville, Georgia is about my night tour.

Marvelous Monday is our brand spanking new name for our former “Monday Madness” feature. Madness was a play on the Mad Hatter’s tea party from Alice in Wonderland. We don’t want readers to mistake the feature and view it in a negative light so we thought a change would be needed. The goal, however, remains the same. This post contains affiliate links.

KittyNook is an online pet store for cats with toys, harnesses, walking leashes, bowls, beds, and more. Their website blog offers posts about International Cat Day, cat health, safety, and ways you can play with and enrich their lives. We have two cat rescues here at Poe in Wonderland – Zazzles (tortoiseshell) and Binx (jet black). I and all three of my sons volunteered for 11 years with one of the southeast’s largest pet organizations Furkids. To say we like cats is an understatement. Recently, we saw a spooky Halloween shirt with a black cat and a smart robot-like cat laser toy we had to try. Zazzles and Binx First, we’ll show you the unboxing of the Invigorating Cat…
I am not a chef so I like cooking to be simple and contain a limited amount of ingredients. If a recipe is fast and delicious, well then those are bonuses too. A neighbor brought this dish to us when we had our third baby. Four easy ingredients and you can serve it with sour cream – which is yummy mixed with the sauce – and a salad. It’s a basic entree that you can flavor with different salsas, veggies, or anything chopped you like. This post contains affiliate links.
