ebay Props Have Come In!

I am always on the lookout on ebay for the unique and unusual Halloween Decorations, things that you just don't see the in the local stores too much. Of course as some of you may remember, I had started to create a pumpkin patch in front of the Hallowindow last year. Well, it got pretty full last year and I had many little kids from the neighborhood coming over to visit the pumpkin patch with all the crazy faces, picking out their favorites. I eventually had to put a small fence up so that my pumpkins and jack o'lanterns didn't get moved around. I had a few zombie gnomes as you may remember seeing a blog on them, and they just got lost in amongst the pumpkins. So, I decided that this year, I'll be moving the pumpkin patch to the backyard where it is more kid friendly. :) As that yard is so much bigger than the front garden, I knew I would have to add more jack o'lanterns!

 

The first group are m&ms! I was able to win the ebay auction for these three tho' I did not win for the red one. :( So I'll be on the lookout for that one another time. But I thought these were so cute and I'll be putting them together in the pumpkin patch.

 

 

 

These next few were cute. Spiderman and a Haunted House carved into them. These are the hard foam.

 

 

 

These two came along with the gargoyle tombstone which is pretty heavy! I thought the jack o'lanterns were neat as they are tall and with great faces on them!

 

 

 

Of course, I couldn't resist when I saw this towering stack of jack o'lanterns that are the faces of Casper, Fatso, Slim and Stinky from the Casper movie! Oh to have the house, Whipstaff eh?!

 

 

And yes, I found a white Casper one by himself! :) Two of my cats were checking him out!

 

 

Last year, I had picked up the jack o'lantern icicle lights from someone and I have been trying to find them again but haven't been able to but I did find these in the spiders and I thought they would be neat too to hang from the gutter in the backyard.

 

 
 I picked up a set of 3 of these as they look really cool. A full length grated door type of thing with skeletons trying to get out!  I thought maybe to use this in some areas of the haunted cave in the back walls as it looks like it might glow in the dark and if they do, I'll use them for background!

 
A string of skulls that I can always use...

 

Someone told me that Mickey Mouse is evil to them? Hahhaa...well of course I had to get a jack o'lantern of him and add him to the patch in the backyard!

 

 

And this was another one I couldn't resist as Mickey is dressed as the wizard in Diseny's Fantasia movie. :)

 
 
Another goofy jack o'lantern!

 
 
 I bought several of these at a really great pice. They are full skeleton necklaces and I plan on handing these out to a few of the better dressed kids that are brave enough to come thru the haunted cave!

 

 

 Now for those of you who know me, know that I adore Edgar Allan Poe and when I saw this great one of a kind (OOAK) item, someone had handmade this book that has The Raven poem printed on it with a pic of a raven and a burgundy ribbon coming down with a raven's claw attached to it as a bookmark...and the corner page on the lower right is curled up to reveal the next page and the last word in the poem...NEVERMORE!
Oh yeaaa...you know I couldn't resist this one at all!!

A note about the light up jack o-lanterns. There is one, I want to say the blue M&M one, that didn't work but I didn't care because I know I have extra cords just for these type of items and I can easily replace them. :) So don't toss your blow mold items out (blow mold is what those hard plastic ones are), you can easily get the replacement bulbs as well as the electrical cord itself. Can find them on ebay or on Amazon.
