Halloween Hits the World Market

So new this week here in Florida...World Market finally started getting in their Day of the Dead and Halloween Merchandise....woo hoo!  I snapped a few shots, but not all the shelves were stocked completely yet. I loved these grinning Jack O'Lantern Gourd wind chimes.  Seeing them hanging there in one giddy lil' grinning group made me oh so Halloween Happy!  

World Market also has a nice selection of Dia de los Muertos items.  I especially liked the Skeleton Cats and Skeleton Owls which were new.  I picked up a black and white Sugar Skull Head plate.  And almost bought a Sugar Skull Stress Ball because lets face it...who doesn't have stress and couldn't use an item like that every so often?!

And they also had a cute selection of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein Movie melamine plates and serving platters that were Monsteriffic too!  

Another bonus to World Market is that they have a great selection of just about every Autumn/Halloween Beer, Hard Cider, and Wine known to man.  So if you'd like to sample one, before committing to the whole case......just pick up an empty 6-pack bottle holder, and fill it with single bottles of beer in every Pumpkin-y, Autumn-y flavor that tickles your fancy, it's that easy.  Then just take it back to your place with some Pumpkin Chips and Salsa....and you're all set to host your own lil' Beer Tasting or Mini Octoberfest in the comfort of your own home. 

There were lots of other good finds that I would have photographed and shared at World Market, but the employees who were stocking the shelves kept watching me with a suspicious eye as though I might actually make out the door with a Skeleton or bag of Chocolate Monster Eyeballs...so I decided to put the camera away, make my purchases and leave.  But it is definitely worth checking out if you have one in your area!
