Luna Rustica displays at Avila La Fonda Hotel
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
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.

Travel Tips…Wandering the Mex trails for you…
DESTINATION: Los Cabos, Baja
Anyone thinking of a trip to Los Cabos this summer will find things quiet and economical. My overall top insider pick of resorts around Cabo has to be the Fiesta Americana Grand. Beautiful, well groomed property, numerous pools, great golf and one of the best stretches of beach anywhere. Not to mention excellent friendly service everywhere you turn. Value you ask? The villa’s section has well appointed ocean view rooms at 106.00 per night! You cannot top this….Muy Bien!
If you’re set on heading up the pacific side to catch some cooler ocean breezes, put Hotel Rancho Pescadero on the list. Travel a little farther up the coast and you’ll find the the quaint town of Todo Santos which is also sporting a new hotel, named Guaycura. Nice rooms, roof top pool, bar and great views make it a luxurious in-town stay. MAINLAND our sister company in Mexico supplied the guest rooms here with furnishings, just as we do numerous homeowners on the Mexican Cape from Loreto to Cabo.
Take note: The pacific Hwy that takes you to these great places is under construction this summer so dust and traffic might increase travel time to and from Cabo.Salud to safe & interesting journeys,
Michael

Buying Trip Photos February 2010
Here are a collection of pictures from a recent buying trip in February. Most are taken in San Miguel De Allende, in the state of Guanajuato in Mexico. It is one of the most charming and lively cities in Mexico, known for excellent craft and pottery. The brightly colored dwellings aligning the cobblestone streets are home to boutique hotels, restaurants, eclectic shops and private residences. A beautiful place to visit, shop and even live, as it has become very popular relocation destination among Americans.
The few night photos at the end of the gallery are in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in the cities colonial district. These are historic government buildings and cathedrals. Guadalajara is Mexico’s second most populous city, and an important cultural center in Mexico.
