All Hallows Eve is Fourth Weekend!
Will you be spooky-carving?

🎃 Long before pumpkins ever made their way onto doorsteps, the Irish were carving something a little… tougher. Turnips!

In Ireland, the Halloween tradition of carving faces into vegetables goes back centuries. People would hollow out turnips and carve spooky faces into them, placing a candle inside to ward off wandering spirits on Samhain night.

When Irish immigrants brought this tradition to America, they discovered that pumpkins - bigger, softer, and much easier to carve - made the perfect canvas. And just like that, the jack-o’-lantern we know today was born.

So next time you see a glowing pumpkin, remember: it all started with a humble Irish turnip. 🥔✨

And this Shop, this is Home in a deeply powerful way.
