There is nothing I love more than autumn—the crisp sweater weather, a slice of pumpkin pie, that cozy feeling in the air and the pumpkins that start appearing around town. It is hands-down my favorite time of year, and the perfect excuse to start the holiday fun by turning entryways into beautiful, welcoming spaces filled with pumpkins and gourds!

Whenever I’m out for my daily walk in my hometown of Alameda, I love to slow down, take it all in, and enjoy the gorgeous architecture around me. There’s nothing like seeing a beautifully decorated home—and a Gourd-geously styled front porch—that brings a little joy to everyone walking down the street. But between demanding work schedules, family life, and school activities, finding a spare afternoon to source the perfect heirloom pumpkins and design a display usually falls to the bottom of he to-do list.

That is exactly how the idea for The Gourd Express began. I found the secret to making autumn magic happen for my own family and friends, and now, I want to make it effortless for you and your family!
