I mentioned earlier, back in August, when the stores usually put out the Halloween decorations, I bought some witches to add to my collection from Tuesday Morning. Then, a couple weeks later, I and Bud went into Home Goods...I had visited there a couple times before...then, they put out a LOT more afterward. I went, as you can see, hog wild with more witches for my collection. There were a couple other women there with the two of us, picking out all kinds of goodies; one woman said to me as I passed her by with my cart holding two witches in the basket..."I'm sure glad someone else likes Halloween as much as I do!" She had three witches and a turquoise pumpkin and a ceramic witch house [I looked at that ceramic one, and put it back up on the shelf - $89.00?!! I don't think so!! Not for a house, a witch maybe...lol] in her basket thus far. One in particular I fancied 'cause it was nearly 4 feet tall...
Others I bought so far for the 'new year' decorating frenzy are:
and two gnomes
I started putting away the usual decor on the mantle and entertainment center, and then, got into the spell of putting out my collection. Isaiah loves 'em, curious, but I have said "No" twice to him and he now leaves them alone. Oh, to be that lucky with him when I put up the tree for Christmas!!!! Anyway, I'll show you the finished lighted displays in a bit. As soon as I'm satisfied with the arrangements. Happy October to all. More "new ones" to come later.
Isaiah sure is an obedient boy! My favorite is the one all in orange, so pretty! Hmmm, maybe being pretty is not a good thing for a witch.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is easily trained. For a cat. Nothing wrong with pretty witches.
DeleteLove all your new witches. The gnomes are pretty cute too
ReplyDeleteGnomes are another thing that's irresistible
DeleteHard to believe Halloween will soon be here. Even with all the virus restrictions, time seems to be moving very fast!
ReplyDeleteAs we say here in Mississippi, Happy Fall, y'all!
It took forever for Autumn to arrive here...and will be all too short. lol
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the witches and gnomes, so cute. You have a great collection..Take care, enjoy your day!
Glad you like 'em.
DeleteI had no idea that gnomes came dressed as witches or in Halloween costumes... your collection gets larger each year. I also have not know a witch collector before. also since I don't go shopping have not seen anything like these in the stores. remember i only shop WM and i dont think they have witches.. can't wait to see the display with lights... you may have to put a few in every room.
ReplyDeleteI found another witch gnome just yesterday.
DeleteYou have a great collection. Love your Halloween background too. Isaiah is a good little cat and maybe your $89.00 house will be on sale after Halloween? Happy October Anni :)
ReplyDeleteI'll check for more witches after the season. But, they sell very quickly.
DeleteAnnie you know how much I love your fascination with all things Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYou read my mind wondering about Isaiah...tell him he is a smart kitty.
Hugs Cecilia
Too smart, I think.
DeleteYou have quite a collection!!
ReplyDelete...a collection of high numbers!
DeleteEEK! I love the one with the wart on her nose! More!!!!
ReplyDeleteMore soon.
DeleteI love the picture of the kitten over here on the left. So cute. Your witches are amazing! I guess I never paid attention to what was out there for sale in that department before. A lot of fancy details for witches! Do you give tours? You should!
ReplyDeleteNo, no tours. It's really nothing special except for family.
DeleteYou really have a great collection. Denise has a good point about going after the holiday to see if that witch house is on sale. Get a jump on next year.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have another witch...lol
DeleteYou have an amazing collection. I can't wait to see the final decor.
ReplyDeleteCollections sure can get pricey...our Disney stuff is the same way. In our old house we had a room dedicated to the "debris" but since we have moved here..13 years ago, most is still in boxes and tubs..a lot will be future eBay..
Any way..Happy October , tomorrow
Sue
Yes, they do get costly! I have six tubs of resin witches in storage ...ones I don't even unpack.
DeleteLoving all of your gorgeous witches Anni!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the wonderful witchy season 👻🌙🎃🍁🍂☕🐈
I always enjoy this time of year.
DeleteI love them all! Can't wait to see your displays!
ReplyDeleteThanks...I'm working on photos today.
DeleteLooking Forward To Future Post - Be Well - Stay Creative
ReplyDeleteCheers
Enjoy those aspen in the high country! Smoky?
DeleteYou are so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI try! 🎃
DeleteI enjoy hearing how much fun you have with Halloween...
ReplyDeleteIt's been a fun day since childhood. For me.
