As Halloween approaches, I’m reminded of the remarkable creativity and passion behind women-owned small businesses that create or curate unique offerings for the spooky season. As a small business owner myself, I often cross paths with many outstanding small brands, and I love shining a spotlight on the incredible talent that you may not have discovered yet.
I’m excited to introduce you to two remarkable brands, founded by two incredible women entrepreneurs whom I have the pleasure of knowing. Their work, inspired by all things spooky, magical, and mystical, truly captures the spirit of the Halloween season.
I hope you enjoy getting to know these two amazing entrepreneurs and explore their unique offerings. Be sure to follow them and share the links provided to support these wonderful one-woman-owned small businesses.
Meet Vera of 'Vera Worthington Fine Art' and her Spooky, Macabre Alcohol Ink Creations
Vera Worthington is a fantastic artist who specializes in alcohol inks, a fluid medium with an unpredictable nature—perfect for spooky art. With a lot of practice, Vera has mastered the control of alcohol inks and creates detailed works, including tiny 2”x2” art on mini easels and eerie scenes on oval pendants. Her specialty? Creepy, macabre, and haunting wearable art that’s perfect for Halloween lovers.
When Vera isn’t creating with alcohol inks, she enjoys painting digitally using Procreate on her iPad, where she produces spooky digital art. Her canvas and matted prints of haunted scenes are sure to send chills down your spine!
Vera’s website is undergoing a redesign to showcase her darker works, but it’s still open for you to browse and explore her colorful gothic art.
Meet Jen of 'Luna Vibes Crystals' and Her Bewitching Collection of Metaphysical Gifts
In addition to selling beautiful crystals and stones, check out Jen’s social media channels which are packed with insights about moon phases, meditation, and witchy vibes.
As Halloween approaches, there’s no better time to shop her collection and find the perfect crystal to enhance your spooky celebrations.
Shop Small Businesses
Women-owned small businesses are truly the backbone of our society. When you have a talent, it’s meant to be shared! But for small business owners, staying afloat can be a real challenge, especially when it comes to gaining visibility online amidst all the noise on the internet. Competing with big box stores adds another layer of difficulty, which is why it’s so important to support small businesses whenever you can, both locally and online.
I hope you enjoy exploring Vera’s and Jen’s shops, and help spread the word of their brands to your friends and family this holiday shopping season. When you visit them online, let them know you found them through me—it’ll make their day!
Throughout the year, I’ll continue to spotlight more of my favorite entrepreneurs in various product-based ventures, not just women-owned businesses (I know some amazing guys, too!). This will give you the opportunity to discover hidden gems across the small business world.
