I am not a summer girl. I derive no pleasure from the scorching sun, long days, endless heat and bugs. I seem to come alive when the sun sets, the wind blows and leaves on trees turn golden. So here we are in August and stores are starting to put out Halloween goodies. Thank you very much. I started my hunt to find those few precious Halloween items that will become part of my collection. World Market got the memo but most stores are lagging, but it will come.

I did find a few Lenox pieces. I have never really purchased Lenox Halloween as their collection was sparse, but I notice some of their stuff was marked way down in price (I am thinking it will be discontinued) so I snagged some mugs and dessert plates. I was surprised how big and roomy the mugs were. Lots of hot witches brew in those babies.

On the Lenox website there are now showing little Halloween homes. I wonder if they will come out with a village. If so, sign me up.

The house with the graveyard is new according to the Lenox website. The other house is being sold in a variety of places so I assume it was the first to come out. These houses are on the small size of about 6” so it won’t take up a lot of surface space. Very cute indeed.

This is the first post of my autumn babbling, so keep an eye out for future posts.
