Sorry, I have never mastered the art of putting photos on line! Maybe I can find a photo at the Old Time Pottery web site. I'll check later.

ETA: Well, when I click on "seasonal" at the OTP website, it is still showing summer. I can't yet find their Halloween stuff on line.

AETA: These colored ones look a lot like mine:

Went to Michael's again, looking for Lemax houses and was bitterly disappointed.
They have a really small assortment this year, like 4 houses and some accessories, and none of the just autumn stuff either (which are my favorites); just the corny Halloween items.

I did pick up a few things since I was there and...they were selling them :-)

FYI, my Big Lots! now has an entire section of Halloween items. There's a large selection of lights as well. I have no pictures from my visit since I didn't have my camera. I was surprised at the amount they already had out, especially for this time of year!

Check yours out if you're interested!

My husband took our daughter to Michael's today to buy craft supplies, and he returned with Halloween gifts for me! He bought me a large silver & white candle with a skull motif. It fits onto a candle stand that is decorated with bits of broken mirror. He also bought me a set of three black battery-powered flicker lights. They sit atop a shortish candle stand that has a skull with purple eyes on the base.

I saw the cracked mirror candle holders but not the skull candle
I'll have to go and look again.

The Dollar Tree got a new stock of those handy LED spotlights I got got last year. I grabbed a few more.

I also found that the Dollar Tree carries the batteries they need in a packet of 8!

Dollar Tree is beginning to stock Halloween here in Indiana as well. JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby both have fall, alas no Halloween. I talked to the manager at Menards here in town and he said that Halloween merchandise should start rolling into stores around the middle of next week. In the meantime, you can always do what I do and hit up Goodwill and the like for a little early fix.

I was at Safeway this morning (without a camera!) and they have a display of large tin haunted houses painted in bright Halloween shades, that hold tea lights.

I didn't buy one...yet.
