JoAnn Fabric Halloween Goodness

Sadly most of my photos came out blurry so this is only a little sample of the goodies. The Wicked Witch mirror is $49.99 but it is so cute. The orange cobweb background really makes this piece. This is probably the best mix of decor pieces I have ever seen at JoAnn. Now we wait for sales and coupons.

Skeleton Chair Back Cover

A black and white Halloween decor theme with the chair covers would be simple and elegant.

Ready to Harvest

The over 95 degree weather for a week brought out the powdery mildew. This patch has it bad. Going to harvest this patch next week. Give them a dilute bleach wash to kill bacteria and store in a cool dry place until October. There is a too big for me to lift one in this patch for a total of 6 good sized pumpkins. The lower bed will have 4 or maybe 5.

TJ Maxx Halloween

Halloween is still hiding on back end cap displays. Once the summer clearance is over it can move to a bigger area. Right now its packed so tight it was hard to paw through it. There were several nice pieces. I brought home some Yankee Candle witches brew tea lights and a mercury glass bottle labeled poison. The little bottles pictured don't have real stoppers its one cast piece but they are adorable!

Double Feature Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein

Turner Classic movies has been celebrating 100 yeas of Universal movies with showings of classic movies on the big Screen. In September you can catch Hitchcock's The Birds and in October a double feature of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. For times and participating theaters go here. My personal favorite To Kill a Mocking Bird will be out on November 15th. These are limited one night showings so don't miss a chance to see these great movies on the big screen.

Yankee Candle Coupon

Use Code SAVE10 through September 3rd to save $10 off a $25 purchase. My submarine votive holder arrived and it is wonderful. The lights are very bright LED's and they flash in different patterns. Makes a great table centerpiece.

The weather has been in the 90s now for several days. The pumpkins started showing a bit of orange! This patch has 6 that are good sized with a classic look. The lower bed has at least 4 that will be fine pumpkins. Yay!
