I was in Big Lots yesterday. Nothing halloween yet, They are putting out Back to School big time. Halloween should be next. They do have summer decor 30% off. Ours has 3 foot tiki idols, wish I had a place for them.

Usually if you google "michaels coupon" one of the first couple of links has a printout.

Our Michael's has the stuff I don't want out. I asked the gal in customer service when they would be getting more and she said the next truck with seasonl stuff should be coming in Thursday. That'll give them a week to dump their red, white and blue so they have room for the black and orange

Wow, it's no longer coming up for me, either. Sorry, I didn't realize they were so protective of their coupon links.

Go here Michaels - The Arts & Crafts Store and scroll down to the bottom- there's a link to register and receive the 50% coupon.

Mentioned earlier that TUESDAY MORNING had a small selection on the shelves of some Halloween items already. However I found this great bird cage in their garden center for $29 and thought it would make a great bat cage. The lid flips open and it has a bottom area where you could add lighting from below. I thought it had a gothic look to it and so I went back to get it before they closed for inventory on 7/1.

Took me a while today to find my collection of bats in storage but I selected a latex bat I had purchased from BIG LOTS in the past (see this bat around still from various sources) and took some pics for you of the bat in the cage. The bat is great because it comes with an elastic loop already which attached just nicely over and around the top of the bird cage finial to let it hang from above. Picture links posted below.

While "bat cage" came to mind I think it would be a great home for ravens, crows, snakes on branches, etc. so will be able to repurpose it over the Halloweens.
