I'm happy to hear that your Hobby Lobby sells some scary things as well.  Maybe some do/don't depending on location.

My husband LOVES Halloween.  He still dresses up (for our kids) and really gets into the spirit.  He does love to deck the outside of the house out in scary decorations (I decorate more "cutesy" for the girls inside), but since we had our children, he's compromised.  They are only 3 and 6 years old, so he does a mix of child-friendly and not over-the-top scary stuff.  He asks the girls how they feel about something before he puts it out. 

Have fun decorating for Halloween this year. It will be here before we know it!

Your Old Time Pottery store sounds like fun!!  No, we don't have any on LI, but I'm almost glad we don't at this point.  I have all I can handle with Hobby Lobby being so close to my house right now!

Thank you for letting me know about the app!  I will definitely check it out!  I have been going on their website and receiving their emails -  They always have a 40% off coupon available that way.

Right now all fall decor is automatically 40% off, so I haven't needed to use the coupon in about 2 weeks.  However, I saw a really cute gingerbread family figure (they remind me of Valerie's).  I could have used the coupon for that, but I held off.  I'll probably end up getting it this week though. lol

The new store is right by me.  I was there Thursday.  Were you?  Perhaps we passed each other.  I saw a few halloween things but passed quickly by that section as I have more decorations than I need.  Learned that they are opening stores next year in Bay Shore and Massapequa.

I was there Thursday morning and then again yesterday. Maybe we did cross paths!  lol

The only Halloween  items I saw were some vase fillers/long stemmed flower things, but that's it.  I didn't see any actual Halloween items.  Where did you see them?  I can't believe I missed it!

I had no idea they were opening up more stores.  That's great!  Every time I go in there it's packed.  I'm assuming that people are traveling from near and far to check it out.  Hopefully new locations will alleviate some of the craziness in that particular store.

I went in there the day it opened with my two girls.  We waited on line for over an hour.  The manager told me that they didn't expect that kind of response from customers on opening day.  I'm glad the store is being well-received here.

As a side note -- What do you think will happen to the Michael's that is in that shopping center (near Target)?  I'm afraid it's going to go out of business.  I still go in there too, but I'm not buying much, if anything.  I would be sad to see it go.  That one is such a nice store too.

Is that the Commack store?  Haven't been there yet.  My neighbor went and loved it.

@Scooty

Yes, it's the one in Commack.  You should really go when you can.  I have never been to a Hobby Lobby in another state, so I didn't have a clue what it was really about.  I don't feel like we have a single store like it on Long Island.  It's like a mix of Michael's, Home Goods, and TJ Maxx (minus the clothing) all in one.
