Here the Halloween Store is open and Halloween decor in the craft stores. So, not too soon. At Michael's here in Northeast Georgia, many are buying Halloween Lemax.
Right now would be a good time to start Halloween/Harvest, esp with Labor Day weekend approaching. Hopefully fall will be in the air soon and people will really start to get a "feel" for Halloween items.
I work at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in retail and we get Halloween/Harvest in the store three months before the actual holiday.
Welp, these past few days, we have taken one whole booth to do Halloween decorations.
It's gonna be annoying. The black cats screech and eery songs play all the time. Some of the cats pop up with arched back. We turn them off but when someone walks by...starts all over. The witches dance, sort of. After a while, I want to take the shotgun to them!!
The other lady's are getting their booths up and I'm way behind the curve!! They have so much nice stuff!! So, I'm watching and taking notes!!
