I was amazed to see so many ads in the Sunday paper already reducing Halloween merchandise. Michaels has all Spooky Town stuff 50%.

At the Party America here they have a stand up animated zombie prop similar to the butler in years past. Target has the cousin but he’s a skeleton and more animated. They are both made by the same company and shipped in from over seas. Both Target and Party America only received 2 of them and that’s all they are getting for the year. I went ahead and got one of each :-))

I was in Michaels on saturday and it was sad... Pushing the stuff out the door quickly for Christmas stuff

Walgreens finally got the last of their stuff out near me this week. They advertised that they were the home for Peanuts Halloween shirts 2 weeks ago but never had any up in the store. Finally saw all 4 shirts they had out today.... (not different designs... 4 shirts, well 3 now).

Heads up...Illuminations.com has Halloween 50% off! PLUS if you enter this coupon code, you get an ADDITIONAL 25% off...999201403...but that code was suppoused to expire yesterday, but worked for me today, so hurry if you wanna use that one! Or even better, if you spend $45, you can get $15 off with this coupon code...999201389. They have some great candelabras (I snagged one of those and the black lace runner) and some cool raven shaped candles, eyeball scatter and assorted other goodies! I'm wondering if I should have grabbed a pair of the raven candles....hhmmmmm

Also, Pottery Barn has already started marking stuff down...on their website too! Yesterday at Michael's I noticed a lot of Halloween stuff already being moved to clearance areas. Those super cool murals at Pottery Barn went on sale and they are already GONE...that was fast!!!

Thank you so much for the heads up! I just bought two of the eyeball scatter and got out of there for less than I had for the one I bought previously. Makes me wish I had been a little more patient and waited for a sale, but you never know when they are going to run out of stock. The coupon code worked for me too.
Now what am I going to do with 90 glass eyeballs? Let me count the ways to use them!

My theme this year is a haunted French Chateau...

Here's the address, you'll have to copy and paste if you're interested, as I am computer stoopid...

People are crazy about Pottery Barn. I had to call ten stores to find the bone punch bowl holder because they sold out so fast! They were $30 and are going on ebay for $120+!

Wow Hallo Weenie, that looks great! You went crazy with the PB stuff! I wanted that skull tray but I just couldn't justify the price. I'm poor this year (again!) and am already spending way too much! I have the Dept 56 cookie jar too and I love it! Did you get the salt and pepper shaker that was the same theme?
I'm so jealous! You place looks awesome! Can I come over to your house for Halloween?!
