I've been watching this thread and I'm not sure if I missed this update already but I was on Grandinroad looking for their summer outdoor furniture and was soooo happy to see their Halloween is up and running on their website. I haven't gotten the catalog in the mail yet though.

Halloween Decor - Halloween Costumes - Halloween Decorations - Grandin Road

I love that catalog. The set on which they shoot a lot of their indoor decor is a beautiful house with just the right amount of haunted flavor.

GRANDINROAD must have just put up their Halloween special section after midnight because I was there last night and it still had their stuff from 2008 listed. Back in early July I signed up for their newsletter to inform me of their 2009 Halloween and was kind of shocked to have heard about the new additions here on this site first. Just checked my email, and still no update announcement from Grandinroad. You can always count on this forum for the latest!

I see that Martha Stewart has a prominent place on their site. Guess that means lots of glitter products! I can't help but wonder what that means if anything for MICHAELS, who has been the main supplier of her products. My husband hates glitter products and greeting cards and all the glitter that falls off and stays trapped in your carpeting, etc. seemingly for years despite your best vacuuming efforts. Anyone else with similar spouses?

GRANDINROAD does do a nice catalog.

I looked over the new website area and didn't see much new from last year that I really loved. Hope there will be more coming. I guess my favorites so far would be the Spooky Willow Tree, Skull inflatable, and the Martha Stewart ghost costume (man that's a lot of material). Those of you that love the glitter stuff, some of the items like the skulls and hands were projects on MS's show and might still be found on her website if you want instructions to make on your own.

i checked out that catalog. wow! i am going to wait till stuff comes out around here, and if they don't have that animated broom, i'm going to get it. there are a couple of other things i really like, but when i have time i think i am going to try to make similar. i could never afford the price of them

I like many of Grandin Road's products (particularly the 'I'll be back' solar tombstone), but, unfortunately, they charge too much for most of them, or at least I think so.

I'm with you on that one. Their stuff is really cool but it is way overpriced!!

I love the weeping tree at Grandin Road. I agree it is way over priced!

Finally hit the jackpot at the third Dollar Tree in town! Okay, so not exactly the jackpot, but they did have one endcap of Halloween stuff. All of their fall items are out, as is JoAnn's.

I went to the other Tuesday Morning and they had basically no Halloween clearance but they did have an endcap of new merch. Nothing spectacular, mostly that cutesy vintage look. They did have a large black glittered "candleabra" (silhouette) for $20.
