First Halloween sighting in stores...

**Thorn Kill Creek** · 08-26-2009,01:12 PM

I stopped by both Big Lot's in Lexington today. The one in Gardenside is clearing shelf space and moving boxes from pallets to the individual counters. I didn't manage to get any pictures of the planograms but they were taped to the counters. Saw plans for costumes, masks, decorations. They were sitting up end caps too. The other store in Eastland wasn't quite as far along. They were clearing counters but did I didn't see any boxes on the floor. Both stores do have Summer and Garden 75% OFF. I picked up an angel statue and three Tiki signs at one and a small pedestal stand and two red glass tiki torches at the other. The Eastland BL also had some Fitz and Floyd glass ware. I did get pics of these. I have to upload them to the computer from the phone. I'll post later. There was a cookie jar with a "cute" vampire, ghost, pumpkin, in a bag. A witch holding a treat bag cookie jar. A set of three kitten w/ witches hat and pumpkin figures. The jars were 15 or 20 and the figure set was 5 I believe. Hopefully this will get things going and everyone will start getting the merchandise out.

The butler is really neat! His face is really cool and i liked the interaction between him and the talking skull on the tray he is holding. I've been considering getting him too.

Ok, here are the pictures I promised of the Fitz and Floyd pieces at Big Lots. I know nothing about Fitz and Floyd. Has anyone else heard of it? BL had half a counter of these along with christmas jars and figures. All of it Fitz and Floyd, so I figured they were a holiday business. As I said in the previous post the jars were 15 and 20 and the figures 5.

Fitz and Floyd is a well loved holiday/seasonal decor business. They're Christmas pieces are always hard to find since they get snatched up so quick. I was unaware they did Halloween, too.
