I have been really slacking on doing any shopping or even browsing this year! I cruised thru Dollar Tree and HalloweenLand (another type of pop-up store like Halloween City & such) and then into the Christmas Tree Shop. I'm not sure *why* it's called that, but I will confirm that at this point in time - yes - there was a Christmas section stocked already, complete with mailbox for letters to Santa. I was tempted to take a skull or something & tuck it in the mailbox.
Anyhooo. CTS had some neat stuff and not all of it was over-the-top cutesy, either!
These ceramic dishes were about the first things I saw & I adored them!
The skull mug on the left came home with me.
Yard stakes. I liked the jack-o-lanterns because they are glass! The rest were wood.
Purty!
I really liked the white JOL, but it was made of a plywood type material - definitely not something to put outside.
The little village pieces tempted me, too.
Beagle witch!
I loved the orange glow on this candle holder. It holds a tea light.
Silver 5' skeletons for $50
I'm not sure what these glass dishes were - serving platters maybe?
This one is flat, where the one above is more bowl-like.
A coaster maybe?
The "9" looking thing is a sticker on the back, so it would be peeled off.
I like the size of the stemless wine glasses, but they look way too homemade.
Inflatable!
Most of these serving dishes were plastic.
I would have liked to see how well the solar light works.
This was really pretty.
The foam headstones were nice & big.
I liked the blue, but was "horror night" really necessary?
I almost missed the 4 cup Pyrex bowls on an endcap.
The monsters came home with me.
I got a few other things but I'm not showing them, since they are intended for my Secret Reaper victim over on the HalloweenForum.
Oh yeah - because I don't have enough earrings!
