FAN-tastic Shape Shifters

I've been out of the house all day, and have not really had time to work on a post. But I received a catalog in the mail that had 2-3 pages of Hallowe'en stuff in it. Then I went to check them out on-line to see if there was more, which led me to another site and then another as it always seems to do. An hour later and I have gone off in so many different directions that I scarcely remember what I had initially gone in search of. That is the price one pays for being such a Curious George I suppose. But what it did lead me to was something that I thought was super cute, as well as functional. Especially when the weather outside is as hot as it is right now.

Never one to be satisfied with 'ordinary' things...I am always a sucker for things that put a very unconventional 'spin' on something normal. So I was really 'blown away' by the cleverness of these cute FANS. They actually come in quite a few different animal styles beyond the ones shown here, but I thought this was a good Hallowe'en assortment. Unfortunately they do seem a bit pricey for the relatively smaller size, but I guess you pay for the ingenuity and artistry of them. I REALLY want the Owl of course...because it is FANtastic! Har Har! :o)

What a great "twist" on the conventional fan! Love the owl :)

Fans are not the most common items in autumn, but during Indian summers they can be uite useful. Those ones are really nice and can put you in a Halloween mood during those last hot days of August.

I love them :-). You could tie little strips of orange ribbon to the mesh to create a blowing in the wind effect :-)Very spooky!

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one to start investigating something and an hour later, wonder just what I was investigating in the first place. The fans are a great find and the owl is wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

I figured the Frog Queen would like the Frog...ha! You have some company in Bridgette. And although fans may not be common items in some places during the Fall...we are often times still using them here in Florida at that time of year.

Kat that is a festive idea in deed. And yes Dede...you are not alone..ha!
