Hi, I’m Jess. I’m a wife, a proud mom of three, and a longtime admirer of all things whimsical, warm, and a little bit witchy.

What began as a spontaneous trip to Salem eight years ago quickly turned into a love story. With over 20 visits (and counting), Salem became more than a destination. It became a second home. The cobblestone streets, the history, the community, the magic...they all left a mark on my heart.

Over the years, I formed meaningful connections with local makers, creators, and the city itself. I eventually became a content creator for Salem, deepening my roots in this extraordinary place. Through one of those serendipitous relationships, I partnered with ASCEND to bring Pumpkin & Gray to life. The shop celebrates everyday enchantment, cozy nostalgia, and the joy of gifting something truly special.

Pumpkin & Gray is a love letter to Salem, to community, to motherhood, and to the magic we find in the little things. I’m so happy you’re here, and I can’t wait to keep sharing this journey with you.🖤
