1. Like, was there ever supposed to be an apostrophe on this sign?
I wonder… Because some companies with names that end in ‘s’ have or had at one time apostrophes in their name. Sometimes they go through a re-branding somewhere along the way and lose the apostrophe.
Hmm…
2. Will Tabs attempt to fight this Halloween black cat if I put it in the front yard? (Probably.) Perhaps the pumpkin would seem less confrontational? Cats are weird, man…
3. Wait — is this place a secret safe haven for cat ladies, just like HomeGoods? OHEMGEE, I THINK IT IS!
4. Must touch all the yarns…
5. Um…didn’t I already walk down this aisle? I swear, I just saw these pens a minute ago.
6. Why do I want all of these shabby chic signs for my kitchen? — because my kitchen doesn’t look anything like a pumpkin patch or a farmers’ market. Also, I don’t own any antiques, so why do I want an oversized sign that says “ANTIQUES” on it?
7. Speaking of signs, someone at corporate is clearly as obsessed with #PSLs as I am, apparently.
8. I mean, really? Why are the cutest baskets always on the top shelf?
9. Note to self: Cover every surface at home with glittery fall garland!
10. Ooh, this is cute AND 50% off. SCORE!
11. I think I need these scarecrows and all of these white pumpkins…
12. Um…do I work here now?
I wish.
13. Oh, gawd, I’m never going to leave this place!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. In related news, this happened at the HomeGoods by my house last week.
Whoa!

October 11th, 2018 at 8:56 amWith regard to number 2, I have a bow window and put 2 scarecrows in there after the Halloween decorations come down. One of them is an owl one and it’s head is kind of shaped like a cat. It seriously takes Alvin (my cat) at least 3 days to get used to it. He growls at it and makes this weird sound like he’s from Pet Cemetery and freaks the dog out to boot!
Karen says
October 11th, 2018 at 12:48 pmHa ha, I feel ya Barb! It took Tabs at least a week to figure out this stuffed cat wasn’t real. Are the fur kids OK when the trick-or-treaters come around? We don’t really get anybody because no one wants to walk up the hill to our circle, so Tabs is fine.
Barb says
October 11th, 2018 at 1:43 pmI have to put Alvin in the basement and shut the door or else he’ll try to run out and Lexi I have to keep in her crate cause she’ll be barking the whole time. If the weather isn’t too bad, I’ll usually just sit outside with a glass of wine or a beer and hand out the candy.
Karen says
October 11th, 2018 at 1:57 pmThat sounds purr-fect. Wish we could do that in our neighborhood! We have to take Connor to other places in the town otherwise we don’t see any trick-or-treaters.
Lorraine says
October 11th, 2018 at 1:08 pmLOL on Tabs fighting the pretend cat! We used to unleash my daughter’s favorite FurReal cat on our cat and he had such a hard time figuring it out! I wonder if we still have that thing in our basement? Our new kitten would love it. The elder cat will probably laugh his furry head off watching that show.
Karen says
October 11th, 2018 at 1:58 pmYou should dig that bad boy out!
P.S. Um, when did you get a new kitten?
Diana says
October 11th, 2018 at 2:34 pmI get lost in the beyond section at Bed, bath&beyond and The Christmas Tree Shoppe is Christmas all year for me! I too have a need to bring elegant farmhouse things inside though I live suburban lol
Karen says
October 12th, 2018 at 7:28 amBed, Bath & Beyond is a trap! I love/hate that place.
Happy Friday to you, Diana. 🙂

October 11th, 2018 at 3:06 pmI went to Michaels today! Got some glue for some additions to my Medusa hair, and some yarn because it’s knotting season! I got a chunky rainbow yarn to make a scarf for myself.
Karen says
October 12th, 2018 at 7:28 amOK, so what did you end up going with for the Medusa hair? I saw your yarn on FB and immediately wished I could touch it. lol

I bought these! I’m going to glue in some snake heads and tails from rubber snakes I bought. They’re bun covers, so I’m going to do two small sock buns (probably vertically, like a mohawk ). I’ve tested this and it stays in well. I’ll try to spray my hair green, but I’m going to do a strand test first.
Michele DiCola says
October 11th, 2018 at 4:11 pmLet’s see : Michael’s , A.C.Moore , Homegoods , Bed Bath and Beyond , Walmart . Anyplace I can find a decoration .
My husband has sent me a warning ⚠️: no more pumpkins ?
So I bought the pumpkin keurig at BBB . I used the coupon !
Karen says
October 12th, 2018 at 7:27 amToo funny, Michele!
LindaLibraLoca says
October 11th, 2018 at 8:51 pmI wish we had stores like this here, I have to visit at least ten different places to get an overview of fall decoration.

October 12th, 2018 at 7:27 amWow! Hey, at least you got a walking workout.
Kristen says
October 12th, 2018 at 6:43 amI’m so jealous over all the fall/Halloween stuff at your Michaels! I went to one near my house a couple weeks ago and there was literally one row of Halloween stuff. They already had all of their Christmas decorations out!
Karen says
October 12th, 2018 at 7:25 amThe one near my house just started pushing out the Christmas stuff. I’m seriously not ready! lol
Miki Nyckel says
