The official Lillian Vernon Halloween catalogue!!! I know I posted her website a few weeks ago, but now the site is totally Halloween'ed out. I prefer going online and reading the reviews before I buy anything though because some of the Halloween decorations turn out to be kinda crappy.

If I recall (it's been years and years since I've seen any of their stuff in person) it's inexpensive, throw-away stuff.

They could have improved since I was little, back in the stone-ages...

As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

RDM if it makes you feel any better I did the same thing. I looked through their online catalogue yesterday and received the actual one today. The feeling of flipping through the pages is still fun though.
Andy, the last time I ordered anything from this catalogue was back in the mid to late 90's. The stuff was definately throw away stuff, but like you said it's inexpensive. Although she seems to have bumped up her prices in the last...ummm decade...wow it's been awhile. That's why I would read the reviews before buying any of it. Some of the reviews were pretty sad, esp. the one about that 6 foot tall witch. =(

Yeah, Thanks for the link! Yeah your right. It will still be fun. They have awesome real looking gravestones!! Do those hold up OK or are they junk?

You know I read one of the reviews on the gravestones and it says that the actual ones are a lot smaller than what you see in the picture, which is unfortunate. What's with the gravestone obsession?
