🌳Scented Musings:  Note To Self

What items are still not showing for the Summerween Halloween 2025 Collection?🎃👻

I didn't have a list to go by but so far with just visiting the store a few times I wanted to make a note of things thought to come out at floor set but have not yet shown up for one reason or another.

Items could be delayed in shipping.  Stores have been getting product like crazy with Fall hitting the shelves now as well so to say it's overwhelming for then is an understatement.  As an outsider it seems like things have been pushed up and there is a race to get it all where it needs to be.

List:

Enchanted Delights Bakery Luminary - it was not out on the table for set here, but there are many in my area that collect the houses yearly so I will speculate to say it has not yet arrived in our store, or it arrived and was sold that fast.  The houses may be limited so if your heart is set on having that $275 house, you could always try online.

Skull Head Shape Wallflower glass bulb - the photo shared from the Rewards APP showing a pink liquid in a skull shaped glass wallflower bottle has yet to be seen here, to my knowledge.  I heard that someone said their store had three different fragrances in that skull head.  Others speculated that it may be cancelled because of a quality control product issue (leakage).  I know it was a real item that was shown many months ago at a meeting.  Is it a late arrival?  Has it been cancelled?  Will it only show up like so many things in select stores?  These answers will be found out in time.  Hopefully as it is a pretty cool looking item.

Apothecary Fragrances - So far, I only know of two scents, I haven't heard anything more about this collection of only a few forms, and I am unsure if this is something being tested close to home or it will go wide.  Not having it set for Monday's release makes me think it is testing...or maybe again, slow shipping delays.  Stores don't know anything about it according to those who have asked in various areas and said as much on social.

Black Coffin Shaped Candle Holder Pedestal - shown to sit on the Vampire's Blood Table to hold said candle, it was mentioned that the black detailed accessory is on a shipping delay.  The Skull was set in its place for floor set.  Will it arrive?  I can't say...for those who love that macabre theme it would be a great piece to have...and worth checking back in your store.

🌳Public Note: I don't think there is more of Halloween coming.

I know some have said on social that their stores have told them that more Halloween is coming -- some said next week, others said soon.

As far as I know, what we see in stores, minus a few missing items, is what we will get for a collection of Halloween.  Fall 1 items are dropping in three phases so there will be fall-inspired showing up.  But the spook-tacular extras we hope for may not be coming.  I mention this only because I don't want you to be disappointed in waiting for something that may not show up. 

Now it was mentioned in the quarterly phone call that there should be two more collaborations during the last quarters of this year.  We here at Life don't speak of those things that shall remain hushed.  😏 We simply archive.  Then shop!
