Ten Halloween Instagrammers You Should Follow Part 3

4/26/2021

We're so close to hitting the halfway point to Halloween and so I thought it would be the right time to share even more wonderfully spooky Halloween accounts that you should follow!

I previous shared Ten Halloween Instagrammers to Follow and then Ten More Halloween Instagrammers to Follow and now here's even more!

This time around I have included a couple of small business accounts for you to check out too. These accounts not only create and share their own products, but they also share general Halloween images too.

Sinister Manor

I'm starting off this list with one of my favourite accounts @Sinistermanor

This account has everything a spooky ghoul could want from an instagram account. It's filled with Halloween and gothic images all year long and she also shares so many of her new finds for others to find too.

If you're missing Autumn and Halloween then this is definitely one account you should hit follow for. A friendly warning though, you will want everything she shares and if you're a Halloween mug fan like me, most likely you'll end up with at least one more mug in your cupboard thanks to her links.

The Witch At OneAndSeventy

This account has EVERYTHING your spooky heart could desire. The @witchatoneandseventy instagram is bursting with spooky treats all year long.

You'll find hauntingly good pictures of her amazing home, along with crafty makes that she puts together and also a link to her store where you can grab some of her creations too.

If you're struggling for ideas on how to decorate for Halloween, then hit that follow button. You will be amazed by the creations she puts together and her incredible decorating skills.

Norwegian Halloween Queen

If you love seeing your instagram feed filled with at least one spooky picture a day, then this account is perfect for you.

@norwegian_halloween_queen always shares daily Halloween pics, along with plenty of witchy pics, humorous pics and more.

What's more is that Gro (who runs the account) is extremely talented too. You'll be treated to pics of her own creations throughout the year. They might just give you ideas for your own decorations.

Leather and Jade

This is an account I only came across recently and I am so glad I did, as every picture she shares is such a treat.

@LeatherandJade share's all kind of spooky images all year long and she makes some of the most amazing vintage style products too. You can pick up some of her makes in her etsy store which she updates quite often.

You'll also find pictures of her vintage Halloween collection and things she finds throughout the year. I always enjoy seeing her pics when they show up in my feed and i'm sure you will too.

October Always

As the name suggests, this account is all about October! I absolutely love this account and all of the wonderful spooky things that are shared.

@OctoberAlways is bursting with all kinds of spooky images and finds. You'll find plenty of ghosts and pumpkins in this account. If you take just a quick glance, your screen will be greeted to such a wonderful collection of orange images that will make you really wish it was October always.

You'll also find links to spooky finds, so if you're on the hunt for some new treats, check this account out!

Johnnie_Cb

If you're a fan of all things Halloween, Horror and just spooky things in general then you will love this account.

@Johnnie_cb is constantly sharing new finds that he has come across and has one of the most amazing Trick 'r Treat collections I have ever seen. There's so many different items I didn't even know existed before seeing his collection pictures.

You'll also find plenty of pics of horror themed pins, t shirts, merchandise and much more.

Sand Star Art

I absolutely adore this account and store. @sandstarart is a small store account run by an extremely talented artist.

You'll find spooky pictures all year long which are also themed by the seasons and holidays. You want spooky Valentines? spooky St Patrick's Day? Spooky Easter? It's all there and she shares new pictures all the time.

If you see an image you like, most likely you can buy it from her store too. So if you're after greeting cards, bookmarks and more be sure to hit follow and also check out her wonderful store too!

Hollow Hill Apparel

@HollowHillApparel is another small business that I am sharing today and one that I think so many of you will love.

I recently received the Pete's Pumpkin Patch Varsity Jacket from this store and to say I am obsessed is an understatement. It's an incredible jacket that I highly recommend to any spooky ghoul!

This small family run business is constantly creating new spooky apparel which features werewolves, vampires, witches and much more. You can also grab childrens clothing from the store too!

trick_thirtyone

Do you ever look at pictures of spooky/gothic homes online and wish your home looked just like it? If so, this account is definitely for you.

@trick_thirtyone has quite possibly one of the most amazing homes I have ever seen. I am blown away by how incredible her home looks and it's filled with so many wonderful finds.

You'll be treated to pictures of her home almost daily and if you're after inspiration for your own haunted home, this is one account you should hit that follow button for.

Katie Pumpkinhead

The final account on my list is such a wonderfully spooky account, I just had to include it in this list.

This account always makes me wish Autumn was here once again and I hope it does the same for you too.

Six Plants To Add A Spooky Touch To Your Garden This Spring

4/9/2021

2 Comments

Spring has officially arrived and as nice as the longer days are, it's great to know we're already another season closer to Autumn and most importantly Halloween!

Just because it's spring doesn't mean we can't bring a little spooky goodness into yet another season and so today i'm sharing six plants that would definitely add a spooky touch to your home and gardens this year.

All of the plants below are available within the UK and I have included links on where to buy too. So let's put our gardening gloves on and get planting.

Hollyhock 'Blacknight'

This plant came up so many times when looking into spooky/gothic plants and I can see why. Hollyhock is available in a variety of different colours with the almost black flower being a definite must for your garden this year.

These plants are quite hardy so you won't have to worry about them too much in the garden. The best time to plant them is April to June and they flower mid-late Summer.

To prolong such a beautiful flower you could dry these out and turn them into potpourri or used them in crafting. You grab a packet of seeds right here.

Colocasia Black Magic

Colocasia Black Magic are sometimes referred to as Elephant Ears and I can see why. This plant has large, almost black leaves that would look amazing in your garden.

This plant is recommended to be grown indoors in pots and then taken outside during the warmer months. The colder weather and especially frost can kill this off so it's not recommended for being planted directly into your garden. However if you live in a warmer climate, these should do just fine outside all year.

You can grab this gorgeous plant right here.

Deadly Nightshade

You might already know this one from a certain Halloween/Christmas film (i'm looking at you Sally). Deadly Nightshade or Atropa Belladonna as it's also known, is found all over the country and as the name suggests it is indeed poisonous.

The plant has flowers that appear to be black, these then turn into berries that also appear black in colour but they are definitely not sweet and juicy. The berries can lead to all kinds of medical issues including coma, so if you grow this please make sure no one takes a bite. They are easy to grow and also quite hardy, so will return each year.

Although the plant is indeed poisonous, many animals are able to eat it without any kind of reaction, including bunnies! You can find out more about this plant right over here.

Bleeding Heart

Bleeding Heart (also known as Lamprocapnos Spectabilis) are look exactly like the name suggests. These heart shaped flowers look like they really are bleeding hearts hanging across a branch.

They're fairly easy to grow and are suitable for both full sun and shady areas. As long as you ensure the ground they grow in is kept moist, they will continue to return each year. I did actually grow these quite a few years back and they are such a stunning flower.

While looking more into Bleeding Hearts I did discover that Black Bleeding Hearts do not exist. So if you find a store claiming to be selling black Bleeding Heart seeds, most likely you will end up with a completely different colour.

You can pick up this wonderful plant right here.

Zantedeschia Black

These plants also known as Black Calla Lily has a deep purple flower that once again appears to be black.

These plants are recommended for growing in pots indoors although you can add them to your garden during the warmer months. As they're quite a tender plant they won't survive the colder seasons, so it's recommended to remove and protect or add them to pots which you can easily take back indoors throughout Autumn and Winter.

You can grab this plant right here.

Fritillaria Persica

Fritillaria Persica is a tall plant that flowers through April and May. Although a little late to plant this year (unless you can grab them already in bloom), this plant is definitely one worth getting for your garden.

It grows tall and can have 30+ flowers when in full bloom. You can find this plant in a variety of colours including deep purple, which appear black in the light. This plant is also great for bees but be careful if you own pets as this can be toxic to dogs and cats.

You can find this right here.

If you're after a little more colour in your garden and plant pots this year, why not theme your plants instead? Create areas of Halloween colours like orange, red, yellow and white. Mix black flowers with other colours to really make them stand out. You could even add small ornaments to pots to create mini Halloween themed pots too.

I'll be planting yellow, white and orange flowers together this spring to create a Candy Corn themed pot, so have fun and happy spring!
