Hey People, went into Zellers today, and two of the sales people came and told me that they are putting their Halloween stuff out earlier and more of it this year, I'm one happy little Witchy Girl

Suppose to come out by the beginning of September, Yippie!! Oh I'm so excited about it, that really made my day today. Wanted to share that with you all

Ok DOD, Is a much happier camper! I called Michael's and they said yes that they had got another shipment in, but a small one, but that would be all they were getting for sure. So, I flew out there as fast as I could, and yep, they had some better stuff, so I did manage to pick up a few more things, so thats cool.
But I did tell them about all the stuff they had last year ( as most working there weren't there last year) I said how sad I was to see such little variety, and they did confirm that it was due to the fact that last year the halloween stuff just didn't sell well and they lost money, so they say, and so decided to not bring in anywhere near as much. So, while it was still sad to not be able to purchase things I had wanted from last year, I did manage to get some cool stuff.
Then, I phoned Homesence and Winners, and the lady told me they didn't have one Halloween item in stock. Well on my way home I decided to go there, well she clearly didn't know anything cause they had some stuff, not a lot yet, but way more then nothing at all, so I picked up a couple of things from there also.
I will try and see if I can get someone to post pictures I took so you all can see

Hey people, do you have a HomeSense & Winners in the US? They had adorable dish clothes and t-towels. I loved the T-Towels, they were Black with Orange or Yellow Bats on them and a night scene, like an old tree and the full moon. I'd love to find a classy Doormat

There's always so much stuff that you see but the budget doesn't allow, how do others deal with the sadness of that? We are working at getting out of debt so I don't put stuff on the credit cards, man thats a hard one to swallow sometimes I tell ya

Hi Guys:

Here's some pictures from DOD, some goodies that she recently bought. I LOVE that table runner, and I have a tombstone just like the one that has "RIP" on it. We're twinsies!!

Hey MammaHooch, THanks a Million for posting those for me ~HUGS~ I am A OK with being Twinsies with you

THat tomestone we have an common, do you use your outside or for indoor decor? I'm thinking of keeping it for indoors, don't want the elements to wreck it

those are pretty cool! Where can we find that stuff? I particularly like #9.

Hey OEJ, Thanks! The Celtic Tomestone and Bat/Spider Table Runner, which is truly stunning despite the poor picture I picked up at Homesense. Everything else, including #9 I bought the other day at Michael's. The little Mini Tomestone's are so cute, I wanted them Last year too. The one with the White Scroll work, well I just painted that part Black to match the other ones work, looks much better that way.

Oh Dutchess, love your new goodies! Please, please take pix of your decorated home and post them. I don't have either of those stores you mentioned in my area and our so called "Halloween Central" store suffered from an explosion last year and they haven't reopened yet.

I wish plane tickets to the US were cheaper.. I would come over with as many empty suitcases as I was allowed to carry and fill them with Halloween decorations! They are beautiful!!! *green with envy*

Hey Halloween Freek, Thanks for posting those pictures, I never even thought to do that, probably cause I was so disappointed in the Michael's near me, I guess I walked around half dazed

If you see the thread "In Stores Now" You'll see that I bought a number of the potion bottles and a bunch of other stuff you have pictured. I think it's great you posted these pictures though.
Did you buy anything when you were in there? Are you going to post what you bought?
MammaHooch, The Sweetheart that she is, posted mined for me, just love her

And same with OEJ, he's posted for me before too
