Michaels Stores Sweet and Spooky 2025 Halloween Decorations

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For the past several years, there have been more Halloween decorations in the color pink. Some years the decorations are in a light pink while others are bright pink. These decorations are usually hit or miss with people online and with shoppers.

This year, Michaels created a collection called Sweet and Spooky. This collection features a lot of pink, but with a retro twist. I was able to see this collection in store. While there, I took photographs of everything I liked or thought was interesting in the collection.

Michaels Stores Trick or Treat 2025 Halloween Decorations

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

We are now 17 days away from Halloween! I hope everyone is excited about this spooky holiday!

Every year, I complain (To myself) how there aren’t a lot of “ordinary” Halloween decorations. For so many years, the decor is so aesthetic… but it isn’t my aesthetic! I want more orange, more cute, not creepy, ghosts, and plenty of happy looking Jack-o-Lanterns. Sadly, there hasn’t been many decorations like this. So, I’ve resorted to making some of my decorations.

This year, Michaels released a collection of decorations called Trick or Treat. This collection is similar to what I have in mind for my Halloween decorations. It has many things I like and want from the decorations. Although it is not perfect, it did give me ideas and inspiration for my own Halloween decorations.

Michaels Stores’ Give Thanks Fall 2025 Decorations

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Fall decorations have changed a lot over the years. Although there are the normal and expected decorations, such as pumpkins, leaves, and more, sometimes there are themes that are unusual and… well… odd. Especially in more recent years.

This year, Michaels has a collection called “Give Thanks”. The collection includes many of the expected fall related items, but this time they would be perfect for Thanksgiving. Now-en days, I don’t see many decorations that would work for Thanksgiving celebrations. This collection, on the other hand, has many things that would be perfect for decorating for Thanksgiving.

Michaels Stores’ Blush Romance Fall 2025 Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I have been a casual fan of romantic and shabby chic fall decorations for many years. Some years I don’t like the style  of them, but other years I do. Normally I purchase these decorations to use them throughout the year due to their color scheme and how I like to decorate my house.

For fall 2025, Michaels has a new collection called Blush Romance. The collection included everything I usually want to see in a shabby chic/romantic themed fall collection: Roses, darker tones, and vintage/Victorian inspired designs. My closest Michaels has most of the collection available to shop in store, so I took some photographs of the items that caught my eye.

Michaels Stores’ Woodland Creature Figurines for Fall 2025

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I talked about a very cute fox figurine I saw at my closet Michael’s store. You can read the post here. I liked it a lot, but I thought it was pretty big for my house right now

While shopping around the store, I found a selection of creatures made out of the same materials as the fox. The difference is not only the variety of figures, but the size. These ones are much smaller than the fox I originally saw.

Michaels Stores’ Fall Fox Figurine Feature

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Labor Day has come and gone, which means summer is unofficially over. (It will be over on September 22, when the Fall Equinox happens) Even though summer is unofficially over, the stores began to put their fall decor on shelves much earlier than that.

I decided to hold off publishing posts about the fall decor until after Labor Day. There isn’t any specific reason for it, except I wanted to reserve August for my own personal celebration of the last days of summer!

Even though wanted to reserve August for summertime, I started to browse the fall decor to see if I wanted to talk about in a post. One of the most cutest fall decor I found is a fox figure at Michaels Stores.
