Halloween at Costco

Not pictured is a skeletal dog with glowing red eyes. There were 3 huge racks of mostly little girls costumes. A fairy princess explosion. No mega candy bags yet.

Pumpkins at Horchow

The black and white look of these pumpkins would be fun to recreate. Found at Horchow.

More from Michaels

Summer clearance is still in full swing so all the Halloween is up against a side wall at my store. Its very dramatic. The foam skulls next to the regular foam heads was a nice surprise. $7.99 and Halloween is not on sale so you can use the 50% off one item coupons found online.

Like last year, I am keeping a Halloween album over on Flickr if you want to see more.

Sur La Table Halloween 2015

Classic Jack-O-Lantern items this year. Found here.

GrandinRoad Halloween

My GrandinRoad catalog arrived this week. New Halloween items are being added to the web site.

Love this skeleton poncho. It looks fabulous just hanging on the dress form.

There is a matching wreath to go with this bust.

I want to make little costumes for these guys.

The Pumpkin Patch

A combination of circumstances meant no garden last year. It was a lot more work to weed and get things back in shape. We had extreme hot weather early so that got things off to a good start.

We planted a bed of flowers for the bees. In that bed is a small compact variety of pumpkins. Each pumpkin is under a pound at maturity.

The lower bed, we garden on a big hill, is 3 plants with marigolds. It should only be 2 plants. Plant number 3 had a split stem and I planned to pull it to make room. Then the little guy pulled through. The variety is Howden. Each plant should make 4-6 pumpkins.

Halloween at Michaels

Michaels has a small assortment out now in the stores. Floral is completely stocked. Love the metallic pumpkins. Something shiny without the glitter. One complete end cap of Halloween decor. The area normally devoted to Halloween is slowly pushing out all the summer clearance items.
