       Happy New Year! May the lemon pig bring you luck in the coming year (even if the lemon pig looks more like a fat mouse)#LemonPig

       While the #LemonPig is probably a recently made up tradition, lucky pigs assiciated with the New Year might be a bit older, though my go-to reference for all things lucky is a little vague on the topichttps://www.luckymojo.com/luckypig.html

       Even if you’re not into that kind of thing normally, I would strongly recommend a visit to Lucky Mojo if you’re ever in the neighborhood. It’s just to the west of Santa Rosa, in the small town of Forestville. In additon to all the good luck charms in the shop and the amazing collection of Americana, the outside of the shop has an impressive model train railway (or it did last time I was there). You’ll probably want to buy a memento even if you don’t believe in any of *that stuff* because it’s just so charming.

       @simon have you ever been to Lucky Mojo Curio Co in Forestville? I made a lemon pig because you posted about it and thought about your love of niche museums and it occurrd to me you’d really enjoy Lucky Mojo. If you go, try to see if car yronwode is around and is willing to give you a tour of her bakelite collection. She would appreciate your energy.

       @dys_morphia I have not but that looks amazing! Is there a model railway there too? I saw one in the photos on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/W689eGzUczNFXKJh7?g_st=ic

       @simon there was definitely a model railway there when I went in 2015. I imagine it’s still there. They seem to just accumulate more cool weird stuff all the time.
