Neat idea for an open house

When real estate was all the rage and I worked for the Star-News' Marketing Department, I received a ton of e-mails of Realtors who were having open houses left and right. Most pulled an audience when they offered catered foods or door prizes.

But here's a unique idea. Two local artists--Deborah Cavenaugh and Miles Lewis--are putting their art on display in a lovely home. An art show and open house.

Carla, Miles' wife, is the Realtor with Intracoastal who is showing the Anne Hathaway Cottage at 410 North 15th Street. It's a nifty idea and is happening Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to noon and 5 to 9 p.m.

We're planning on stopping by Friday during the day. It seems a perfect blend to celebrate art in a beautiful home. (If your home is for sale, suggest this open idea to your Realtor...I can recommend several amazing, local artists! And don't forget to tell them you learned about it from Wilmville...okay, okay, Carla Lewis through Wilmaville.com.)
