Having been semi-coerced by my bride to embark on a shopping trip to the Big City this morning; I don't recollect ever before seeing this many "decorative" black bandits in the JoAnn Fabric & Craft store. Photos are a sampling of their wares.
I sorta liked the skeletal crow in the cage but it was "...on sale; down from $39.95 to $29.95, of course. I commented to my lovely bride that, "Ya know, I could probably boil up one of my downed bandits in the big pot on the kitchen stove, and have a more authentic (black) beak." She was not amused. I'll go back the day after Halloween and see what they price if for then.
Anyhow, just for grins, here's a sample of what's for sale in SW MI. These would go nicely in Boba's Crow Museum basement section. Yeah, I know; one's a raven.
Crow Tea Candles??? Shades of Martha Stewart!

As for buying crow candles and other Halloween stuff to hang around the house, I think I'll pass. After all, what I do is shoot crows, them toss them into a ditch or dumpster. I'm looking for fewer of the black bandits!
But, if the truth be known, I do have some nice crow art pieces around the house or office. Here's one I picked up last year. It's made out of wire, but designed to cast an even nicer shadow.
