Time to get your Ghoul on!!! Halloween is just around the corner… time to start decorating! Every year I make a new Ghoul to add to the collection. I only make forty… and when they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Starting tomorrow night at 7:00pm CST I will be hosting an online sale of some “older” Ghouls only on Facebook. Very old-school… but it works… as the first person to claim a Ghoul in the Comment section gets it. So mark your calendar… there’s only a handful of some of them!!!

While some of these Ghouls are classics… they’re also Limited Editions! So there are no more Mummies, Frankensteins or Witches. Pumpkins will be around for years to come… and tomorrow night I’ll be selling off some of the “newer” Ghouls only on my Facebook pottery page with my “GHOULS & PUMPKINS SALE.” If you’re looking to start your collection, or add a few more characters to your Ghouls Collection, there will be Scarecrows from this year, plus Werewolves, Vampire Bats, Pirates, Little Red Devils & a few different Pumpkins! Some are more “limited” than others… like the Werewolves as there are only TWO of them left!!!

It’s a spooky Friday the 13th night… and it looks like there are more ghouls coming out to play! Yep, another line-up of my Halloween characters hanging out on a bookshelf! Not quite the “full” Ghouls Collection… but quite a few nonetheless! They’re all made as a Limited Edition. And when the new “yearly” character is gone, they’re gone for good. But… there “might just be” a little bit of a “Ghouls & Pumpkins Sale” only on my pottery Facebook page next week of those characters still in my inventory!!! More details coming… Pirates & Devils & Scarecrows, oh my.

Just in time for ART IN THE BARN… the “big reveal” of this year’s new Ghoul to add to the collection! SCARECROWS!!! Adorably smirky “brainless” scarecrows… each with a hat to finish the look. It’s a Limited Edition of forty and they’re available this weekend at ART IN THE BARN in Barrington, Illinois. On the grounds of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital. It’s the original farms of Quaker Oats, so the barn is pretty cool… as well as the corn crib, machine shed, silo, and so much more! And this weekend… it’s all filled & surrounded by talented artists. Come on out this weekend for a fun Fall art fair! And stop by the Lower Barn in booths E4&E6 to say hello!!!
