Did some early "haunt" shopping at ROSS this weekend. I'll post photos later this weekend.
Found a matching "silver electroplated" tiger head wall plaque to go with the one I found there last year, 8.99. Now I have a pair. Last year I located a pair of the female lion heads in the same material, 7.99. Two thoughts on using these--as attachments to the front of arm chairs to become royal thones chairs in my Egyptian tomb room or to attach as ornamentation on my circus big cats wagon cage. I was shocked to find a larger male lion head wall plaque in the same material today for a few dollars more, 12.99. First time seeing that. Nice mane on it. Perfect for my circus lion exhibit cage (have a lion mask from Halloween Asylum for that prop ).
Also bought two safari animal masks (head wall plaques as well), 7.99. One a zebra-like face and the other a giraffe. They have cut out eye slots and thinking about adding lighting inside of the voids.
Noticed ROSS got back in this really nice rhinoceros head wall plaque again. I bought one last year to go in my Tomb robbers shack. It's always interesting to see what comes back into the store from the previous year. I've been to 3 different ROSS' this weekend and saw duplicates among the stores, actually was looking for a matching pair of glass coffee mugs I liked but I know when you see stuff you can use it will be gone next time your in if you hold off.
Last thing I added was a microfiber jungle print throw. Was debating on this or just picking up some fabric or faux fur jungle print fabric at Joann's. I'll see what else is out there but it's probably a keeper.
I'm starting to see some Egyptian-related busts and such, and large pink flamingos (for skelemingo projects) in the stores. Lots of faux candle battery lanterns and sconces.
