Better late than never. 😂
The official start of the holiday is July 5th, but mostly I’m mad that your JoAnns is clearly better stocked than mine :D
I'm a big Halloween fancier but I also believe it exists for exactly 31 days.
It might be a bit early but I'm thinking these two guys would make great summer lawn decorations.
They start gay christmas earlier and earlier every year
We know what overzealous mf did THIS
Just be like the gift shop in town and have Halloween merch all year round. 👻
Good, ol' Fremont, Nebraska?
oh, no lol there is a very similar store that sells some of the exact same items in Oregon City, Oregon.
lol Would've been a helluva coincidence.
For the sewing/crafting materials, having them out months before makes sense (it takes TIME to make sh*t). But for ready-made, it’s a bit much.
I was at Joann’s today and YUP. Spooky fabric is everywhere along with Back to School.
At least all the beach-y themed stuff I love was 60% off… 😆
Retail Seasonal offsets are getting a bit nuts..
Joann's is always a season ahead though because you need the lead time to make something.
I need to get to Joann’s soon. Spooky quilt cottons are my favorites.
Only Halloween stuff I usually keep an eye out for is neat Peanuts stuff.
I got my beloved fortune card fabric there. I’m looking for something with a subtle spiderweb pattern this year, for Folkwear pants.
I have a whole dress of Peanuts pumpkin patch fabric which I love. There was a zombie pinup girl cotton a few years ago I made a shirt with too.
I have some grey & black shaded batik from last year that’s going to be Folkwear African pants, as soon as I finish the 2nd hapi jacket.
Half of me loves all of that stuff. But the other half of me agrees: It's WAY too heckin' early for Spooky Season stuff. At least wait til towards the end of August, holy hell. lol
I know people are complaining about this, but I'm just glad I have more time to collect my room decor before it's gone for the rest of the year
this is my logic EXACTLY
it's the only time I shop retail for home decor, and then it stays up year round.
(I also buy a lot from indie makers, locally and online, but retail is good for cute cheap filler pieces)
Hm. Gets later and later every year.
I pass by a place that has a 12 foot yard skeleton that's been up at least 3 years.
We have one of those but it lives in our living room.
I always think it needs a top hat and cane.
17’ baybeeeeeeee #sizequeen
Look, I'm *always* spooky and even I draw the line at this.
I simply can’t believe that plaque doesn’t say APOTHE-SCARY
Finally!!! Never too early for Halloween 🎃!!!
It is on clearance.
That said?
I would 100% shop in a year-round Halloween section of a store.
Happy Pride month! Time to get spooky.
But JOANN has zero fucks to give.
Joann's knows its gay clientele have our needs.
If Christmas shit gets pushed starting in September, Halloween can start in June. Cope or put Christmas back in fucking December.
Sorry if that came off as aggressively at you. Meant it as a general gripe at my most hated holiday taking over practically half the damn year and people acting like that’s normal.
I know, time to prepare for Halloween, that's the Goth Christmas. 😁
Time to pick up some more decorations!
I see your bet and will raise you snowsuits.
I know, I know: I want the new Christmas stuff, too. But in the meantime the Halloween stuff is pretty cool.
