UNTIL NEXT YEAR, DECEMBER NIGHTS!
WHEW!
I am exhausted from all the activities at our annual December Nights!
Brandon, my poodle buddy, Erika the rag doll cat, Franklin the arachnophobic
rat, and I are basically immobile from all the goodies we have eaten from hand
outs and crumbs on the ground. This is just Heaven! We still haven't covered
the whole Village for overlooked goodies!
This year, we had so many guests walk into our Village and enjoy the
decorated, cheerful, colorful, ambience of the Holidays. Twinkling lights,
trees decorated with Christmas packaging & balls, booths lined up and down
the patio displaying and selling their artwork, the aroma of food from the food
booths, every studio spruced up and decorated for the holiday event....every
year, this event happens, and every year, it is a place of magic, old time
memories, and charm.
Soon, my cousin 'Miss Molly' will be visiting me...can't wait for you to
meet her. In the meantime, I need to knock off a pound or two before she
comes....(she's a silly, vain, creature and I couldn't have her slimmer than
me).
Come visit us in Spanish Village Art Center...we're open 7-days a week,
11AM-4PM, and we have 37 working studios for you to see, and perhaps purchase a
handmade, original, piece of art. We are family and pet friendly, free to come
and visit, usually have live music for you to enjoy, and the vintage
and ambience of a village in Spain.
Time for a nap, again....
Happy Holidays!
Love,
Bella

DECEMBER NIGHTS at the VILLAGE
Greetings Everyone!
EVERYONE IS INVITED TO:
DECEMBER NIGHTS
DECEMBER 7, FRIDAY 5PM-10PM
AND DECEMBER 8, SATURDAY 5PM-10PM
It's a free event held every year in Balboa Park.
Come early, there is limited parking, shuttle service from the VA Hospital,
valet parking, and for those of you who are not polar bears, dress warmly!
Bring your appetite, because there are lots of food boots, and yummies to enjoy!
MOST OF ALL, COME VISIT US IN SPANISH VILLAGE ART CENTER!
It's Thanksgiving weekend which means LEFTOVERS! Yes! Bites of turkey and
stuffing, yam with marshmallows, cranberry sauce, and scraps of pumpkin
pie!
I'm pretty stuffed from oblidging everyone's generosity to me, and am lying
down motionless for lack of energy....too stuffed.
Around me, villagers are intently
decorating the village in preparation of 'DECEMBER NIGHTS'....AKA: Christmas on
the Prado....a great family event where over 100,000 visitors come to celebrate
and experience the holiday event.
On this festive Friday and Saturday night, museums are free, colorful Christmas
lights are festooned throughout the Park, free entertainment everywhere, lots of
caroling and music at the Organ Pavilon, ethnic foods galore at the
International Houses, and much ado for the holiday season throughout the
Park....
But, I'd rather stay in Spanish Village Art Center, where my Village family
welcomes everyone into our charming, quaint, storybook setting, lined with
vintage white cottages, and outdoor booths, displaying a wide variety of
original artwork to admire and sell.
Up and down the Village are twinkling, colorful lights, festive
decorations, food booths, live Christmas music, a live Santa to tell your gift
wishes, and the aroma of popcorn, cinnamon, and apple cider.
Christmas in Spanish Village is a glimpse into the past....an Old Time
Christmas.
Don't be surprised to see dogs dressed up with hats, some lighted up,
wearing Christmas frocks, and colorful bows.
In Studio 26, dogs receive courtesy Christmas collar bows, tasty doggy
milkbones, belly rubs, pats on the head, and fresh water....a pet friendly
stop.
I am looking forward to seeing you! I will be the fluffy, longhaired,
4-legged, smiling, beauty, with the big pink bow on my collar!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Love,
Bella
