Hi, Savannah here. There's been a lot of activity going on in downtown St. Petersburg - or to use the new acronym, DTSP. Because everything needs an acronym. Anyway, DTSP is mural mad. They're everywhere!
Since 2015, the St. Petersburg Art Alliance has been the Sponsor for the SHINE Mural Festival, an art exhibit all over the city. October is the month when the brand new murals pop up throughout the city. The event also features an exhibition of local artists whose work can be seen on the streets and a fashion installation with models posed in front of canvases covered in graffiti created by local street artists -- along with live music, DJs, drinks and a great time with great people.
There are so many new murals this year but here is my favorite:

The reason it is my favorite? The artist is still looking at tweaking it even though the paints are put away, the event is long over, and even the light is fading quickly. It is the artist's way, however, to always want to make perfect even better. Wisely, she's leaving it alone -- it is absolutely perfect.

About Shattered at Sea
A Mediterranean cruise gives glass shop owner Savannah Webb a chance to demonstrate her expertise--and fire up her skills when it comes to foul play.
When Savannah signs on to perform glass blowing on a cruise ship, part of the appeal is that she'll get to meet her boyfriend Edward's family in England. As an added bonus, Edward's cousin, Ian, will be joining them on board. But when Ian disappears at the beginning of the cruise, the ship's authorities initially consider it suicide.

Husband and I love to cruise -- we went on one of the Celebrity ships that has the glass blowing. It was delightful research.
DeleteThere are lots of church fall festivals going on here. On Halloween several area churches will host Trunk or Treats for the kiddos.

Trunk or Treat events are very popular at the schools here. I'm going to the Murder on the Beach Bookstore event next week - costume in the works!
