Spooks & Spanks Celebrates its 2nd Anniversary with a Spooky Halloween Weekend on Monk Boulevard!

This past weekend was an unforgettable milestone for Spooks & Spanks, as we celebrated the 2nd anniversary of our storefront on Monk Boulevard! And what better way to mark the occasion than with a spooktacular Halloween bash? The event was packed with incredible energy, talent, and curious minds, making it one of our most memorable gatherings yet.

Our raffle had an overwhelming response with nearly 600 participants—yes, **600!** The love and excitement from all of you were palpable, and I can't thank you enough for your support. It truly touched my heart to see so many familiar and new faces celebrating with us.

The event was brought to life by a wonderful group of vendors, each bringing something unique and magical to the table. From local artists showcasing eerie and enchanting artwork to sweet treat makers serving delicious, spooky-inspired delights, the space was buzzing with creativity. There were also makers of handmade jewelry, spooky crafts, and even some quirky oddities that fit perfectly with the Halloween theme. Every corner of the shop was filled with beautiful, one-of-a-kind creations, and I was in awe of how much talent surrounded us.

It was inspiring to see so many people interested in supporting local artists, chatting with vendors, and enjoying the festive atmosphere. The shop was packed from wall to wall with people who came not just for the products but to experience the community we've built together. I was incredibly moved by the outpouring of support, and I know that Spooks & Spanks wouldn't be where it is today without all of you.

Your enthusiasm and dedication mean the world to me. Whether you stopped by for a few minutes or spent the entire day soaking in the Halloween spirit, your presence was a reminder of why I started Spooks & Spanks in the first place: to create a space where creativity, self-care, and community thrive together.

As we head into another year of spooky creations, I want to thank each and every one of you for being part of this journey. The support you've shown us over the last two years has been nothing short of magical, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish together in the future.

Here’s to many more years of fun, creativity, and spooky self-care!
