Thread: First Halloween sighting in stores...

Tweet

Cool, yeah I stopped by my H.E. today too and they will be open next week and let me in early for a sneak preview. They know me well there and let me send pics and put up flyers of what we do as well last year. I told them we have expanded to bigger and longer backyard trail.I believe H.E. has by far the nicest staff of all the seasonal hallowen only shops with Spirit being one of the least friendly around here. H.E. has mostly nice women and Spirit has a bunch of rude guys as of last year, sorry to rant on that !

If you have other locations in your area, check those out too. We have at least a dozen in my area and I've been to maybe 5 of them. Some had great displays, some were kind of sparse, the hands and feet and foot prints are out there. Not every store had a full set of what was out there. I was kind of surprised at the diversity. Maybe try calling first, depends on the staff there how helpful they'll be.

I like your idea of mounting the skulls BTW. Post a pic if you can when you're done.

The shelving looks like Tuesday Morning to me. In the locations around me they upgraded a little while ago from the dark gray stuff to the white metal. Made for a cleaner look. If it was Tuesday Morning, I'm betting he's making a nice profit off of it if sells.

poop, if it is a Tuesday morning item theres none of those near me. Do they do closeout stuff, like Big Lots? This looks like a new item, so I was thinking maybe a sams club type of place. Im hoping to see her locally.

edit; I stand corrected, looks like theres some tuesday mornings here! Ive never seen these stores before so I will def be stopping by tomorrow Im so excited! with that being said, I doubt it will be in a closeout store but Ill will be looking nonetheless.

Kittyvibe, not to burst a bubble but the Tuesday Mornings around me have had halloween out for a while and I didn't get the impression any more was coming in, they seem to be on to Xmas already. I would call and ask about halloween before making the trip.

Saw a resin steer skull at Lowe's online: Not a bad price IMO. Great prop for desert like scenes, western tombstone towns.

They also have a 14" resin parrot which could work for someone's pirate theme.

A friend posted a picture on Facebook of a local Walgreen's with some Halloween stuff out, JOL's and tombstones.

If anyone is looking for a kind of victorian style bird cage for a raven or whatever, saw this on Kmart's website on clearance for $8.99. It's a Martha Stewart item. For outdoor use only! No sizing mentioned. Standard shipping was $4.95 for me (arrival by 8/31)
