Thank you for making this video and inspiring folks to try and not give in to consumerism and shop small! Spooky stuff is great! But landfills are scarier!

Are your nails acrylic tips ? And how are the designs done ? Stickers, nail art? Pls explain

All the shops look so cool and I found them online to be able to buy from them. I'm in SoCal but as a small business owner myself I love to support other small businesses. Thank you for filming the fronts of the store fronts. ❤❤❤

Love that! Thank you for supporting my local haunts! 🥹🖤

Thank you for showcasing small businesses! As a horror toy store owner it’s greatly appreciated when influencers make videos because we don’t always have the budget for marketing.

Speaking out against overconsumption and highlighting importance of supporting local businesses- love it! 🖤🖤🖤

Loved this video. I have collected Joe Spencer witches from a local small business for 15 years. I also make vintage inspired Halloween crafts so yay supporting local artists.

Omg amazing! I really really like his work!

It gets so old watching the big brand stores being shopped. I love a good thrift store or vintage shop myself. So much more fun! Great video!

Artists and small businesses need our support! Thank you for taking us with you on your spooky hunt. Love your finds! 🙂🖤🎃🕷

I love shopping at the little "main street" shops for Halloween and Christmas. Great finds and the shop owners are so happy to see you.

Midge, I LOVED this video! I am done buying cheap, plastic Halloween decorations and love that you are showing how you can purchase unique, quality items that support the livelihood of local artisans! My favorite haul video that you’ve done!

I've been loving your pivot to focusing on small businesses and making things. It makes me so happy and is great to see!

This video is doing the most for Kansas City tourism. I never thought I would want to take a KC trip

Me too, now I want to go visit!

Yay for small business support! But Id like to suggest people keep in mind fall craft fairs as well. Depending on which you go to some might be Halloween light, but it's a great chance to support makers and feel a sense of community. Also, some makers if they hear customers are interested they will try to provide and make more of a certain thing for the future, so if you dont see much Halloween asking and explaining what your looking for may help there to be more next time. Some makers also have too much stock to bring to a single show and might have more of what you're looking for that just isnt wiht them or be willing to make custom. Added bonuses of it is a lot of disabled and older folks rely on selling at such events to make ends meet. They may not have the energy/means to support an online sales presence, so those events are the only way to find their stuff. Also, firehouse craft shows tend to be their biggest fundraisers as well as some other groups/places that put on shows. If you can't afford to donate to them directly showing up and spreading the word can be a great help.

white pumpkin shop looks so cute omg!! im totally in love with the concept🍂😍 i want to go🥲💖

The witch pumpkin last is EVERYTHING!!! So beautiful yet creepy

Omg Midge blitz blast from the last! I think she used to blog back in the olden times 🖤

I could quite literally live in the corner candle shop! Their shop curation is just *chefs kiss*

What a fantastic video Midge! Not a spooky small business personally (although I've made a few spooky cosplays over the years), but it really means a lot to see small creatives getting supported. Also I was filming a video where I mentioned Mary Shelley and I suddenly realised I was calling her Ann Shelley!!! Oooops!

OMG I love the Corner Candleshop!! If that store was in my town, I would have to take out a loan for everything I would buy from there!! Love the small business focus! I am going to do the same around my town! Happy hunting!🎃🎃

What a fun haul👍🏻 love the witch pumpkin🧙‍♀️🎃

Lawrence is my hometown!! Thanks for highlighting the joys of downtime Lawrence!!

Love to hear that you are a Missouri supporter; ME TOO!!! (Born & raised actually) I’m in SE MO (along the Mighty Mississippi) & I too love to shop small local businesses; they are always more personable 😁

All my favorite decor is from small local businesses and artists. This was a fun video! It’s cool to see something different than the same box stores again and again.

I loved this. I intentionally didn't buy much this year, and regardless of how nice certain items were, or how much I wanted something, I told myself that I didn't need it and only purchased a couple of items very intentionally. Whether we reduce our unnecessary spending or shop small, or even do a combination of those things, we need to be more mindful of our spending.

I was very excited when this video came up on my feed. Nothing beats Halloween goods from small businesses 🎃

LOL you are rly having a MOUSE MOMENT this year!! They're all awfully cute - I definitely don't blame you. I kinda love them all too!👹

The ceramic green witch head also favors the witch from the anime Spirited Away.

This is fantastic, so Autumnal and spooky, so nice not to be shown the big shopping malls. I could almost smell spice candles in that amazing candle shop. Yes more please and take us back to Western when the other shops are open 🕸️🎃

I've been to Sleepy Hollow. It's a seriously magical place. I hope you have a wonderful time!

It’s such a great town, and so inclusive!

I absolutely loved this unique shopping experience. You are so lucky to get to live a life that is very much you and you are happy. Please keep sharing smaller good quality stores! 👻

Omg that candle shop is amazing! I absolutely adore the orange fire king mug candles! What a fantastic idea! 🎃

OMG…I love you & everything about your Halloween obsession!!! You’ll never guess what I found today while thrifting Halloween…A WITCH HEAD PUMPKIN!!! It’s the same mold as yours, painted in a more traditional pale orange color!! I can’t believe I found it!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Love this video, and your outfits are super cool! It's great to promote your hometown, or businesses that you enjoy going to. As a small business owner, it helps us out. I love Halloween, and have a small room dedicated to it in my shop. Love the items you purchased, my favorites are the witch pail/bucket, and the witch pottery head. Can't wait to see your upcoming videos. Take care.

I love this! I watch Halloween Hunting vids for *the vibes*, not recommendations, so high-vibe AND less feeding the soulless corporations?! Count me in.

that pig pumpkin is sooooo cute!!🐷🎃💕

omg 😍😂 not me watching your video and waking up my husband because I was so excited for the shout out!!! ! 🥰

I am from Lawrence :) So fun to see someone shop there for Halloween!

That picnic basket is amazing

I love this video! Thank you for sharing. I love traveling and for good folk and vintage Halloween, I’m always looking for new places to shop. There are no shops like this around me.

Love this! Shopping small is the best idea.

Totally agree with your Halloween tree comment!!! Love it!!

LOVE this video!!

This is really good stuff to see-something else than Target, Walmart...

okay, so I always thought The Halloween Tree was just a fever dream of mine cause every time I brought it up, no one knew what I was talking about 😂 thank you for mentioning it and validating me😂❤

Thanks for highlighting and supporting small businesses. You're so much fun!

Thank you for making this video! It was soooo fun to see the local Halloween goodies in your area! Refreshing! 👻❤️

Im so excited you listed their websites!!

This channel makes me happy 😊

This is so cute, I’m from Weston! A lot of my family still live there - it’s crazy how popular it’s gotten over the years. I love watching your videos, I feel like I never see KZreadrs from KC 🤗

So much fun!!!!! Thanks for this video, I loved the cozy vibe of the small shops ❤️ Have a wonderful time in Sleepy Hollow!

Love this! I love vintage stuff. Just found a really cute sign at dollar tree that has a pinup witch on it. I had to get it.

I just discovered your channel and I am addicted! 🖤What a great opening too🧡 🧝🏾‍♀️Greetings from Jerusalem IL

This was very enjoyable! I loved seeing something different and your purchases are cool!

Another awesome video 🤍🩶🖤

Thanks for the list of businesses to shop. I'm in the KC area. I have the pumpkin witch head and the pumpkin picnic basket too. Will definitely hit up some of those stores!

Fantastic haul...love it all, especially the green witch & witch pail

This video was super interesting seeing the different shops around KC.

That spider is adorable! Now I want to visit KC. These stores are great!

Omg! The two witches you got- GORGEOUS!!!! 😍🎃🦇 I am obsessed with pieces like that!

Great video, midge! Have a great birthday trip!!!

This was one of my favorite videos!

I agree. I love small businesses and artists. It's a great way to get unique gifts for friends and family. Thanks for sharing your local peeps!

Yay Weston! I love Weston. 🎃🎃🎃

I really enjoyed this excursion! I plan to save it in case I ever travel there.

Omg, I just stumbled upon your channel, and can't believe my luck; I live in Prairie Village. I can't wait to watch the video and check out these places!

I live for your videos, thankyou,,HAPPY HALLOWEEN 😊😊

Love this video! My area doesn't have places like these.

Thank you! ❤ My MS was being a bit obnoxious today, but seeing this was like an extended hug from an old friend. Your videos are so awesome and brighten my day. If it's been especially hard, I binge a few of my favorite videos of yours and always feel better. Thank you. 🩷💜🧡🖤

Great vid and nice nails too!!🖤

This makes my haunted heart happy 🎃♥️! So much fun and so many talented artists out there! Loving your content for this spooky season!

Wow! I know where I’m taking a short trip to next September! Thank you so much for sharing your local small shops! This was such a great video 🖤🖤🖤

I’m new to your channel and you have me hook line and sinker in love with you and your channel, I’ve been binge watching and will desperately try not to comment on all I watch, just wanted to say hello from the uk

Very cool items…the shops looked really cool 🖤

My best friend is from Lawrence, KS! She lives in KC now (I met her when she went off to finish grad school in a different state).

I really loved this video and I hope you’ll keep doing more like it.

looks like ive gotta plan a trip for this time next year!! I should make a video like this for the chicagoland area

I adore the small shops! One of a kind pieces, cool spooky finds is right up my alley!👻🎃🦇🧹🍁🍂 That was so much fun!🤎🖤🎃

Hi, I am a new subscriber. I just happened upon your channel today. I love, love, LOVE everything you're about. I'm going to try and find some shops like these in my town, but I've honestly never seen anything like it here. I live in a big town in Central California. We have a lot of people but a lot of what's on offer is pretty generic. Thank you for sharing these shops!

I LOVE me an old candelabra! I think I have 4 of them. Always looking for more. 😁

Thank you for pushing small businesses ❤️

So much better than the big box stores!

I absolutely LOVE this concept! I’ve got a few in Chicago for you to try if you’re ever up this way 🙃

Love your channel

Bookstore kittycat friend: CAMERA? **Licks butt immediately**

What a fun “shop with me!” You’re lucky that you can wear large earrings, and those ouija board ones were gorgeous! Really fun purchases! It is hard to believe that you’re married to someone who didn’t know Mary Shelley! 😂😂

4:35 I’m dying to know what book has cryptid, self care, ghosts and Mulder vibes because it sounds like my perfect book! 😍

I love this trip of the small businesses in your area! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 there’s seriously nothing better than handmade. I feel like you should take a “stab” at felting your own little mouses…🤷‍♀️ juss sayin…your sculpting skills…I feel like it could be in your talent wheelhouse! My kids learned how to “felt” wool in school because they went to a homeschool alternative school with a farm and garden program and learned how to properly sheer and clean and felt wool 😳🤷‍♀️😂. I’m a city chick so I was like 😳👏🏻👏🏻 😂. Anyhoo synthetic or “knot” (omg it’s the wine!) I feel like you’d excel with your eye for shapes and placement ♥️♥️♥️ The Barbie earrings!!! 😱👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ✨🎃✨👻🎃✨👻✨🎃✨👻✨🎃✨

The first shop had a Dr. Giggles VHS and my childhood innocence was forever lost to that one! lol

Midge, if you did a black, orange, and black candle and then orange, black, orange, it would look great as well! Great video!

"sooo... I'm getting divorced" 🤣

Loved this video!! Everything looks adorable and very Midge as always. Also, though I recently moved, I've been a NYer who lived near Sleepy Hollow for most of my life so if you need any tips let a girl know!
