See, here I am, talking about how Halloween is right around the corner, and what do I see when I walk into the craft store yesterday?

And they’re not the only ones getting into the spirit!

Johnny Love, haunt master of the always amazing Love Manor, recently pointed out that Pottery Barn has their stunning Halloween decor up for 2011.  Their goods are pricey, but do act early if you have your heart set on something.  Last year I coveted the silver skeletal carafe holder, available this year in black –

It was permanently sold out by September, long before I was able to talk myself into spending the $70.  Perhaps this year I’ll be able to justify these striking Caged Crow String Lights.

Grandin Road has also debuted their Halloween Haven shop for 2011.  Could your Halloween haunt use this poor fellow, wrapped in spider webs and hanging among giant egg sacs?

Or maybe a 15′ animated reaper, complete with whinnying horse, cracking whip, and menacing laugh?

Hope this has gotten your creative juices flowing, darlings.  The clock is ticking…84 days to go!
