Halloween comes to Michael's

Halloween is no Mardi Gras or anything, but I'd still count it as one of my favorite times of year. So this weekend when I popped in to Michael's for what I thought would be a quick trip  to pick through the summer crafting leftovers that might be on clearance, it's not really a surprise that I instead got totally distracted by their adorable Halloween stock. 

In my defense, I don't think their Halloween decor has even been half this cute or glittery.

There were quite a few things I would've loved to get for Muses shoes, but I managed to talk myself down: it's not even August yet, none of it is going anywhere, wait until you can use a coupon, etc. 

I did take some pictures to remind myself of items I'll pick up the next time I'm there and have a coupon that's not spoken for.

Item 1 - Glittered foam vase filler "bubbles." Oh, you precious glittery foam bubbles I will be back for you. So light, so glittery, and such great colors! I'm picturing the purple ones on a purple, green and gold shoe, the acid green ones on my WIP voodoo shoe and the silver bubbles on a Bathtub shoe. These are going to be fun. I only wish they also came in pearl and gold...

I hope no one is judging me for how in love with bags of tiny glittery foam balls I am.

Silver glitter bubbles, great for the Bathtub shoe I've been picturing

Item 2 = Ravens! An amazing assortment of glittery ravens of all shapes and sizes, including some wearing little glittery witches hats. I will definitely want some wee glittered Ravens to do some Baltimore shoes if/when my sister rides.

They also had life sized owls and ravens...I can't fit one on a Muses shoe, but damn were they cool.

It's too bad the white owls aren't a little smaller, it'd be fun to do a Harry Potter shoe.

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

It's worth nothing that Halloween is still 3 months off...which means I have a long wait between now and the Halloween stock going on clearance, but I think that's going to be a fun trip.
