[a witch from canada]

WickedBB70, I read somewhere on this thread that someone in Canada asked the staff at HomeSense if they were "related" to HomeGoods, etc here in the U.S. and they were told no. The stuff you purchased is EXACTLY the same stuff we have in our stores and I so doubt that they aren't affiliated companies....I just think the sales staff didn't know the companies background.

yes their related it is the same compagny beind Called TJX Welcome to The TJX Companies, Inc.

i wonder if we will see some of the more life size props here like the witches i saw in the other thread halloween sightings , i would love to get my hands on those witches and more dept 56 stuff would be very nice too

I got 6 heads free last week, and tonight I bought 15 heads at 2 bucks a piece! I will use some in the lab, some under masks and the rest will probably go in the graveyard coming thru the dirt. hooo gonna be scary at my house!!

Here are some of my stuff this year and late last year. The lamp post I got at cracker barrel last year along with a ton of other stuff for 50% off! I was hoping they would have them again this year so I could get another one but the colors are off and it looks cheap. The other stuff I got a Ross. The next pick is stuff I have gotten at yard sales. Not much this year but I have soooooo much Halloween decor I tend to be picky and only choose the stuff I have to have. I will try to get some of it out of the boxes to show because I got some really good deals last year after Halloween!

I absolutely love that pumpkin lamp, I went online to see how much it would be with shipping and all and the price of the lamp was ok 29.99 but shipping to Canada was 18.00, do you think it's worth it for me?

Those shopping at Homegoods don't forget to shop their gourmet food isle. They had Halloween pasta at my local one. Perhaps they'll get more interesting Halloween-related food items in.

Hi all, great purchases!!!

I found these at Big Lots yesterday, the sign will be perfect for the vampire-themed party, and the witch will be perfect for the Witches Wingding.

Holloweinerdog lover, It is my favorite decoration! So I say yes it is worth it. It has a key on the back of the post you turn to slide the poll up or down. It helps for storing it! I would by another one this year but they used different colors on the base so they won't match

OMG M. Hooch how much was the dracula's pup light? I love that I need to see if they have those at my big lots.

Where the heck did you get those from! I'm use to seeing styrofoam heads but nothing as complete as yours facial wise. Very cool. Lots of possiblities there.

I couldn't resist the Dracula Pub sign either. I think the witch looks great. Way better lit than the way I saw it in the store. I hadn't thought much about it when I saw it. Thanks for posting the pics. BTW my pub sign is white when lit. Is yours different or was it just the camera setting?

BTW since you and I have a similar plan in mind for the sign here's a website with great labels to print out for your bottled drinks:
Vampire Drink Labels If you like them, be sure to save the .pdf file of the bottle labels for future use.

Gothikren, the pub sign was $15. It's a plug-in.

is there an equivalent to Big Lots in Canada? Those are amazing!

Does it give a lot of light? I'd love to have it kinda as a lamp

Batty Girl- Your pups are SO CUTE in their little horns!
NK- A theramine!? That's AWESOME!!!!

 

[battygirl]

Halloweinerdog lover....I'm not sure it would work as a lamp, It puts out enough light but it's orange colored light. I put it outside and you can see it well beyond the street. Hopefully that helps but I will take a pic of it lit up for you in a day or so!

MorbidMariah thank you very much! Those are our spoiled rotten children!

Halloweenbarb that was a great find and the picture is quite funny taken out of context...I could use a couple more myself. MHooch that Drac sign is so awesome! I will have to be on the look out for that one. That is definately something I would keep out past Halloween! Battygirl your doggies are too cute!! Every year my dog's headpieces go to waste, she won't keep them on.

Oh and bozz, bubble foggers are the best. Got one last year and REALLY didn't think it was gonna work but just had to try it. It ended up being such a hit I got another afterwards half off (super cool but not enough bubbles.) I had one TOTer that just hung around for 10 minutes popping them in amazement.

I've only made one serious purchase so far, but its a good one. This is going to be the centerpiece of my whole Halloween plan.

Here's the horrible phone picture:

And here's what it really look like:

It doesn't look like much, but it doesn't need to. This is my new theremin. I'm not great with it at the moment, but I'm improving, and hopefully by the time Halloween rolls around I'll be competent enough to produce some spooky music for the ToTs.

That is awesome! For anyone who doesn't realize what this is, it's what makes the spooky "sci-fi" noises from all of those 50's monster movies! I have several friends in bands, and one of them had one of these on stage with them, it was great! You move your hands closer to it and then further away and it makes it change tones, right?

Cool, I musta drove all over Ohio looking for one last Nov. on sale and found a bunch left over at one store 90 % off so I bought 6 but wanted all of them....ha !After I turned one on I had no idea how very cool they were I was so surprised that I wish I would have gotten one sooner and can't wait to crank them up this year.

Michael's is getting another shipment in of hallowe'en stuff, not sure what type of stuff they were putting some of it out today! But I had to run, since I was suppose to be at work!
