Where to buy really nice H'alloween decorations?

    Hello :-), I'm after some really nice bits & pieces, that I can pull out year after year. I don't mean the paper, or plastic type. I'm really after nice decorations, that I can put a candle in, to light them up. Or nice knitted little characters, nice goldie/orangie pumpkins. Some really nice display bowls to fill with sweeties. H'alloween door wreaths. They type of stuff that you wouldn't mind having sat around the fireplace or sitting room for the next 3 weeks.

    I had a look at the local € shops, and Heatons (cos you never know). Nothing. I'm in the Cork Kerry region. I was thinking of maybe Homebase, or even woodies. I'd be thankful for any suggestions :-)

    I'm going to get myelf a slutty sexy naughty nurses outfit for Halloween and squeeze my arse and lunchbox into that.

    etsy.com is worth a look if you want to invest in something that you will have for years.

    Nice Halloween stuff really is an oxymoron.

    Do you live in the countryside ?

    Must be plenty of roadkill ?

    Collect it all up and tastefully position it around the house.

    You can impress the neighbors, with all their identical tat, and there be you with your unique, one off, bespoke designs !
