Luna Rustica Blog


Our new downtown location at the corners of Monterey & Morro streets in downtown San Luis Obispo is six months new already.  It has been great to be in the heart of beautiful SLO once again after a 4 year hiatus.  Those of you who have stopped by the downtown store will have noticed the expanded global influences in our furniture and décor.  The integration of these new elements have added a layering and new juxtaposition to our artisans in Mexico.  These new ethnic and sustainable accents reflect a global connectedness.

As some of you know, Luna Rustica contributed to the wonderful furniture and decor that gives Avila La Fonda it’s authentic Mexican feel. La Fonda turned to Luna Rustica for built-ins, custom pillars, doors, decor and lighting. The hotel located one block from Avila Beach has 28 rooms that mix classic Mexican style with modern luxury. It is by far one of the best boutique hotels on the central coast.

Recently Luna has been showcasing different decor at La Fonda. Come in and see if you can spot our signature pieces, as well as to check out this beautiful hotel, I’m sure they will even let you tour a room if you’re nice!

Dias De Los Muertos
10 - 30, 2010

Not only is Halloween approaching but so is one of Mexico’s largest holidays, Dias De Los Muertos. This celebration occurs on November 1st, and 2nd. Traditions include building altars honoring deceased loved ones. They use sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visit their graves with these as gifts. The purpose of this holiday is to celebrate and respect family and friends that have passed. The Catrina skeleton is one of the most recognizable figures of the Day of the Dead celebrations.

Here at Luna we are celebrating with our own homemade altar and Catrinas galore. We also have a display in downtown San Luis Obispo at Arts Obispo in the Creamery. Here are some photos as well as a link to a video and more information about this wonderful Mexican tradition.
