Halloween is one of our favourite ‘holidays’, even though you don’t get the day off, but you totally should. When we are encouraged to let our inner child shine through, be whoever we want to be, and welcome everyone with candy. While Halloween originated in Pagan tradition, the Halloween of today is mostly a non-denominational super fun holiday when we welcome the fall weather, and let our silly out. And this we embrace wholeheartedly.
Usually this is the time of year when we are pulling out all the DIY stops, but for us, having a new baby around has really cut into our crafting time. So we look to the professionals of the online world, as we do with so many other things. The maker’s at Etsy have been working their fingers to the bone, stirring up all kinds of tricks and treats, and we are delighted to share a few with you.
There are so many wonderful Halloween Etsy shops to explore, we had to really focus on a specific theme, we went with Halloween Humour. We believe that Halloween isn’t only about being scary, it’s about tickling your funny bones, and letting your wicked little attitude come out to play for a while. So with that in mind, we have curated a list of Etsy North American made and sourced Ha-Ha-Halloween must haves that will have you grinning like a jack-o-lantern.
