Halloween Weekend Recap In Savannah

Long story short, I drank a lot of beer. On Friday, I picked up a six pack of craft beers from White Whale to take to a house party. White Whale Craft Ales is a magical new place where you can buy lots of local, regional and craft beers from all over the country. It’s located conveniently south of Forsyth Park on Bull Street.

Saturday, I went to see a foreign film that was having a screening as part of the Savannah Film Fest. My friend Steve Wong, who is a film journalist, recommended the comedy, ‘Toni Erdmann‘. It was long but pretty good. I laughed out loud at several points in the movie. Later I went to see Front Porch Improv comedy show. It was great as usual. Some of the improvisers and I went over to the American Legion for drinks afterward. Of course, there were people dressed up for Halloween, and I took a few photos.

Sunday, I went to Sav-A-Lot and I bought some Spam. I had forgotten how much I like a Spam and cheese sandwich on white bread. You can’t eat fancy artisan food every night.

Crafternoons At Starlandia Art Supply

Starlandia Creative Supply is an art supply and craft store that sells new and reclaimed art supplies. It opened at 2438 Bull Street four months ago, right around the time I moved to Savannah. I love shopping in the store for DIY interior design ideas, and it is a great space to spark creativity.

Employing a business model similar to a clothing thrift store, you can donate art supplies for credit and then use the credit to shop in the store. There’s everything from canvas and picture frames to buttons and tennis balls. Anything that inspires artist to create is at Starlandia. The store is bright and colorful and it is like the Willy Wonka factory of art supplies.

One of the things that make Starlandia a great addition to Savannah creative community is that it provides an opportunity to reuse and upcycle items and facilitate recycling. What may be considered to be scraps to one person becomes inspiration to another.

Recently, I had the pleasure of spending the morning crafting with the owner of Starlandia, Clinton Edminster. We made a vision board and I wrote about it in the September issue of Well FED magazine.

Starlandia will be hosting crafternoons for the next two Saturdays (October 17th and 24th) to help Savannahnians make their Halloween costumes. There will be lemonade, cookies and hot glue! Work on your upcoming Halloween costume, or try a variety of different Halloween Decoration crafts to add some spook to your Pumpkin Day Celebration.
