The moment the calendar flips to October,
My hutch starts calling for a little mischief.
I unpack box after box,
of ghoulish goodies
until the whole hutch is 
bursting at the seams with delightful oddities
and this year, a few irresistible Target
finds have joined the haunted household.
This year, I've added a new little
character beside my
Haunted House Cookie Jar:
a tiny 4¾'' tall pumpkin man
I found at Target
for just $5.00!! WHAT?
I must admit, he looks as though
he was made for that house. The ghosts
are certainly happy to have him as a guest!
He's reminiscent of the pumpkin men
you'd find on those odd vintage
Hallowe'en greeting cards,
only a bit less disturbing.
He needed a bit of a boost to reach
the height of the molding around the hutch,
so I improvised will a pill bottle.
Over in the hall bathroom, I added
another Target find.
You'll spot him next to the
Bathing Witch picture:
a little skeleton holding a raven.
He was another of Target's five dollar
Halloween figurines.
I have to laugh at the way his leg bones
seem to go straight up into his rib cage!?!
Anatomy wasn't necessarily a priority
in the skeleton department.
Still, I thought he'd be right at home here,
especially since the raven he's holding
matches the one in the Bathing Witch picture.
Remember, it's all about coordinating the décor,
even in the afterlife
My next Target treasure has found a home
on a shelf in the family room.
This time, it's a black cat perched atop
a jack-o'-lantern.
I've placed her in front of my
Beistle die-cut witch house,
and I think her colors compliment this
modern reproduction beautifully.
who's a precious kitty?
The last of my new characters is
this sweet little ghost holding a pumpkin.
He looks right at home beneath my
Jack's Pumpkins, Pick-Your-Own sign.
And wouldn't you know it?
He's picked the perfect pumpkin,
just his size!
Those are all the characters I brought home,
but they're certainly not all the
Halloween goodies Target has to offer.
Take this Grim Reaper, for instance.
He looks downright grim,
as any respectable Grim Reaper should!
Then there's this spooky pair of ghosts
peeking out from behind a gravestone.
Whatever they're up to, I'm not sure
I want to know!
Target also offers mini Halloween
figurine sets for five dollars,
figurines at the same price!
How cool it that?
I'm wanting to fill a few more shelves.
So, keep this in mind:
a quick trip to Target can score you a
plethora of Halloween gewgaws to fill
those nooks and crannies in your
haunted home.
At five dollars apiece, it's awfully
tempting to bring a few little spooks
home with you!
Thanks for stopping by
and happy haunting!
