Michael's Halloween Sale

NoelSeven — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 02:56:32 GMT

According to Michael's, tomorrow is a big day for sales, especially for the Halloween village pieces at 40% off. Reportedly, they go fast.

I was there today, asked about one village piece I didn't see on the shelves, and they got one for me from the back. I also got several village items and witches which I can't wait to put up!

Noel thanks for the heads up on the sale. Since I was first married some 55 years ago i have loved to decorate for Halloween. I always put up orange or amber colored lights all over my shrubs and deck up and down my porch posts. In years past this home screamed fall and halloween. I have a basement full of decorations so I will have to see if I can get my family to drag my "stuff" up here and help me put it up. But tomorrow I will ask my sister to stop in Michaels and see if there is something I need. I know she will be kicking and screaming that I don't need another thing.

Hi Cater

It's really nice to read about your decorating traditions. I use strings of amber lights around the house, also!

I know what you mean about needing help dragging up all your decorations. My daughter loves decorating so she and my husband do the honors of getting all the boxes out of the basement. I have most of them in orange and black crates from Target, that helps, lol.

Noel mine are in big orange and black containers from Target also. When my daughter saw how many different bins I had and she was the one to go and find the halloween decorations she came out of the basement and said this will be the last time for this search. She went to target and bought I think 7 or 8 of the orange and black color. I also about 10 years ago bought a halloween tree at KMart It is all black branches and is all done in orange lights and on the ends of the branches there are pumpkins that light up also. It is a 7ft tree or maybe a 6ft but it sure makes a statement in my bay window. Have fun decorating.

HALLOWEEN! Love Halloween! Looks like a Michaels run tomorrow! Don't need a single thing, but I've got to look! May just run down to Party City, too. They always have something to tempt me with.

I got the cutest pillar candlestick there, shiny black and somewhat twisted and bent. Then a striped black and white pillar candle to put on top, like the stripes they show in witch stockings. Look for them, they're pretty darn cute

live without this time around but it's

probably because I have a good supply

I enjoy autumn and winter decorations!

Our Pier One has some fun things too.

Newziesuzie, I checked out pier one online and they do have cute things. Noel, they have many Day of the Dead items that are pretty cool (this is online, I don't know about the stores). You may want to check them out. CH

Thanks for the reminder @NoelSeven, I went last weekend and created this in my QVC Belleek vase:

JJM, your flower arrangement is stunning! Beautiful I'm now tempted to try something like that myself. I stare at the gorgeous floral offerings at Michael's and don't have a clue what to do with them

I looked up the date for the official beginning of Fall, Sept.23. I'm waiting until that date to change up the decos in the house. It would be silly to introduce a Fall theme in this horrendously hot weather.

I used a tall bunch in the center and 3 each of the mums in orange and red. Then used 3 each of the white sunflowers, and 3 of those feathery yellow plants. It all about using odd numbers when working in a vase.

Got it! I'm a big believer in odd numbers and staggered heights.

I love that!

They had several of those signs there I was tempted to buy. As soon as it cools off, I'll be there
