Looky Looky! Great Press!

We're tickled to the bottom of our spooky boots! Spirits in Sanford is featured in a six page spread in the October issue of Orlando Home and Leisure magazine.

Just take a look at the online issue and you'll be drooling like we were. You'll find us on page 54 when you select the Contents button from the home page.

We're proud to have Jorge de Rojas and Dianne Waldron so beautifully photographed for the spread.

Three days and counting...counting...counting! Can't wait to see all our Halloween friends!

W is for Witch

Fear not, little tricksters, this Halloween show is sure to be a hit! We can't wait for folks to show up on Saturday, October 10 for Spirits on First in Historic Downtown Sanford, FL.

We have carefully selected a handful of talented artists to bring you the best in Halloween collectibles and unique treasures.

Jorge de Rojas, who works in paper mache with vintage trims and baubles, is a die hard Halloweenie just like us. For the last two years, Jorge has joined us in the gallery during October for a trunk show with his latest creations. The first year was a sell out!

Jorge is a stickler for details and you will marvel at the handiwork of his stand up sculptures and hanging rattles. We can't wait to watch him unpack this year's cast of characters - witches, ghouls, skeletons, cats, and pumpkins galore! Oh my!

A Spooky Idea is Born

Caution! Airports can be fertile places for the birth of new ideas. So I discovered when traveling last year with my business partner. While waiting for our flight, and during our journey, we hatched an idea that is just now coming to fruition - a Halloween Art Show!

Both of us are positively giddy when it comes to celebrating Halloween. It seems that this wacky holiday just brings out the kid in us. We still love a good case of the goosebumps, a wicked grin, or a cauldron boiling over with cackles.

If you're in the same club, you'll be thrilled to hear about our debut show, Spirits on First, a juried art show created for those with a passion for Halloween.

There are several well known shows of this genre, like the "Halloween and Vine" event that has been gathering faithful followers for over a decade. We're bringing the fun to East Coast fans to have their own version and start new traditions. We hope you'll join us!

More blog entries will keep you posted on our progress....stay tuned!
