Last year Lenox released two Halloween houses. I was not sure if the houses were a one off release or a start of a whole new village. I was thrilled to find that Lenox released two new houses to the line.

These houses are just lovely. The detail makes it special pieces. I love the green glowing light in the Witches Apothecary.

I know the Christmas houses have been going strong for a long time and many people collect them. But if you know me, I am more about Halloween than Christmas.

Also I added to the collection a few new entertaining pieces. I bought this pumpkin platter because I have the mugs and serving bowl. Perhaps they will release a new piece every year.

They had these cute appetizers plates on clearance and snatched them up.

It never hurts to have some plates on hand. Speaking of plates, I noticed a new Halloween design on some serveing pieces called Haunted Village.

They have a cake platter, a set of plates and a snow globe. I strongly believe they will be releasing new items each year.

The plates have a different haunted house on each plate. Although I did like the cake platter I really don’t use cake platters much.

I really like this new design. I had been eyeing the Williams Sonoma plates but their stuff is very expensive and it would take a while to catch up. Lol. Might as well stitch to Lenox and do one piece at a time.

Thanks for checking out my blog.

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.
