Halloween, that is.

October has taken me by surprise yet again. You'd think by now I'd see it coming.

I don't want the standard plastic pumpkin and bendy-jointed skeleton.

But I do like the idea of this scary cat peeking out our front windows:


I like these kooky grass pets so much I put them on our home page this week:

Elizabeth Tipton searches high and low for unique, amusing or clever products to improve your life. Her network of family and friends are always getting emails with new information about this pair of scissors or that new leaf blower. Those suggestions eventually made it all the way to HGTV's MarketPlace, where she writes a daily blog of her great finds. Her personal shopping philosophy is that the best find is the one you never knew you needed until you saw it.
