I second this btw! Every year I say this and wonder if there is anywhere I can move where it doesn't get warm.

never heard of Garden Ridge, what is it?

It's a big box retailer that sells all kinds of crap for the home, including some pretty cool Halloween stuff.

I usually make my annual trip in during July to see if the great pumpkin has arrived yet.

Cool! I just looked up their website, no stores in California.

The michaels down the street from me put out all of their Fall Foliage last week... Of course it helps that my sister-in-law works there... She gets 50% off one item every day... We abuse her to death let me tell you! I considered applying there for a part time job for the discounts, and to find out about all the new stuff coming through, and then I thought... When would I have time to work there? I have a Haunt to build and a Party for 100-150 ppl to throw!

You DEFINATELY want to make the trip when they have all their stuff out. Some of it is really good and you can't find it anywhere else. To top it all off they have GREAT prices and usually always have a sale or coupons going around. Keep an eye out and make sure you go this year!

As promised, I went to Michaels today after reading this post and sure enough, they started putting out their Fall Foliage stuff and a couple Crows ad pumpkins. Nothing really for Halloween just yet but that will be right around the corner! For those of you who havent made it out there yet or don't have a Michaels near you, I took a picture with my phone so you can start the anticipation with the rest of us

Thanks for posting Kenpilot!!!!

You guys have Aisles full of halloween stuff?....In June?
We're lucky if we've got one shelf full of cheap plastic kiddie crap before mid October.

I was shocked that my Michaels was already getting its Fall decor out!

Speaking of shocked, hehe; I walked up to a Michael's employees about to jokingly ask when the halloween decorations will be set out.. Well, I guess she did see me, because as soon as I began to speak...She let out a blood-curdling scream.

I accidently scared her! HAHA!

Ironically, she was stocking the shelves with the fall folliage...I still proceeded to ask her about the halloween decor!
I jumped, when she screamed too! LOL.



My Michael's doesn't get halloween decorations until late Sept!?
