ENCHANTED HALLOWEEN

Halloween doesn’t have to be gory. This year’s handmade edit celebrates the lighter side of spooky season — think friendly ghosts, playful details, and pieces designed to make October joyful, not frightful. Each creation is a reminder that Halloween magic can be charming, funny, and even heartwarming when crafted by hand.

Friendly Ghosts Everywhere

There’s something irresistibly charming about a ghost that smiles back at you. This Halloween, friendly spirits are floating across candles, crochet creations, and delicate ceramics — each one a tiny character with its own personality. These aren’t the kind to haunt; they’re the kind to make you grin. Whether perched on your mantel or tucked into a cosy corner, they bring a soft, sweet presence to your seasonal decorations. 

Spooky but Playful 

Forget the fright — this year’s Halloween accessories are all about cheerful mischief. Think enamel pins shaped like cheeky ghosts, cat companions with glowing eyes, or prints that wink at the supernatural without ever turning scary. Perfect for a jacket, a tote, or a thoughtful little gift, these pieces add just the right touch of Halloween whimsy. Each one tells a story of craftsmanship, imagination, and a love for the season’s playful spirit.

Celebrate A Playful Spooky Season

Ghosts that Glow

As the evenings draw in, there’s nothing cosier than candlelight — especially when your candles have ghostly faces that come alive when lit. These handmade lights turn a simple moment of stillness into something quietly magical. The flicker of a flame behind a smiling ghost is like a whisper of Halloween nostalgia — gentle, glowing, and full of warmth.

Tiny Treats, No Tricks

Halloween doesn’t have to mean sugar rushes and spooky surprises. These handmade treasures — from cute spooky “hugs” that radiate calm energy to sweet enamel pins and keepsake cards — are treats of a different kind. Perfect for gifting or keeping as tiny tokens of joy, they remind us that even the smallest pieces can carry the most heart.

Handmade, Cute Halloween Suprises 

Spooky Spririt, Gentle Fun

At its best, Halloween is about wonder — the thrill of mystery, the joy of dressing up, and the glow of creativity that lights up autumn nights. This handmade edit captures that softer side: ghosts who dance instead of scare, stars that sparkle instead of spook, and keepsakes that bring a smile long after October ends. A celebration of magic, mischief, and the art of keeping it all a little bit gentle.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Pentangle Pottery

Karen Raithby of Pentangle Pottery in her studio, smiling beside a display of handcrafted white ceramic ghost figures with pottery tools and clay stars in the background.

Meet the Maker – Pentangle Pottery is the creative work of Karen Raithby, a Lincolnshire-based ceramic artist whose pieces are rooted in storytelling, nature, and spirituality. From her peaceful studio surrounded by countryside, Karen hand-builds each piece slowly, allowing the clay to guide her through the process. Her work draws on myth, folklore, and the quiet beauty of the natural world, often featuring angels, guardians, and symbolic figures that seem to hold their own energy. What began as a simple love for clay has evolved into a practice that blends intuition with craftsmanship. Each sculpture, plaque, or vessel is individually formed and fired to stoneware, giving it strength, depth, and a touch of the ethereal. Karen’s work feels both grounding and uplifting — pieces to connect with, contemplate, and treasure. With every creation, she brings together earth and spirit, shaping art that feels alive with meaning.
