Discount Bethany Lowe Designs, Inc. Glittered Spider Extra Large

Spider decorations usually arrive in one of two forms: flimsy plastic ones that come twelve to a bag, or enormous props built for a front lawn. This is neither. The Glittered Spider from Bethany Lowe is a single deliberate object in an extra large size, finished in glitter, and meant to be placed rather than scattered. Put it on a console table near the door, on a stack of books, at one end of a mantel, or in the middle of a Halloween tablescape where it can be the thing people comment on. That is the case for buying one good spider instead of a bag of thirty: one of them is a decision and the other is filler. It sits comfortably with vintage leaning Halloween decorations and with darker, more grown-up October styling, and it does the work quietly, all on its own, without a plug, a cord, a fan, or a fog machine.

When should you put up Halloween decorations? Most households put Halloween decorations out in the first week of October, and many start as soon as September ends. Indoor pieces tend to go up earliest since they are not exposed to weather.
