One way to add an interesting touch to your holiday decor is to use gourds as part of your wreaths.
Our small Angel gourd, Emily, is pictured above attached to the wreath on our Retail Store door. Give the wreath some interest with pinecones and other ornaments.
Any of these gourd ornaments pictured above would make a lovely addition to your wreath!
Picture these little guys on a rustic, snowflake wreath like pictured below.

Or get really creative and craft a wreath in the actual shape of a snowflake:

The gourd snowman ornament would look adorable in the center of this unique, rustic display!
Click here for the tutorial on how to craft this snowflake wreath. The instructions are for a much smaller decoration, but you can always make it larger to fit any door or space.

Visit our Retail Store to pick up your Christmas pickle! Not sure what we’re talking about? The legend of the Christmas pickle goes like this…
In Old World Germany, the last decoration placed on the Christmas tree was a pickle – carefully hidden in the branches. Legend says the one who found the pickle on December 25th would be blessed with a year of good fortune (and a special gift)!
Relive the tradition with your family and friends year after year with our gourd pickle ornament!
