My Story

Hello GingerSweet friends,

I am so glad you are here!

~I am Carey...a mother of 2 daughters, a wife to my husband, Rich, of 25 years. My story is really very simple. I have a passion for home decor, leaning a bit toward a vintage cottage style with a little primitive and farmhouse thrown in. GingerSweet Gatherings became a collaboration of treasured and gathered items, vintage and new, merchandised together to create a beautiful home.

I started in the fall of 2015 selling my handmade and found wares in my favorite antique store and my little side biz still continues to grow everyday. I am still growing and learning and with the growth comes the new website I built April of 2020 and I love I can send the sweetest decor to your door now!!

In the Fall of 2023 to Dec 2024, we excitedly opened a storefront in our hometown of Vineland, NJ where my dream of having my own little shop had come true. A place to connect and help you find the sweetest home decor and gifts. 

Currently, we have now opened a space inside The Shoppes at Medford Mill in Historic Medford, NJ, nestled inside an architectural old mill where we share the space with over 50+ artisans, artists and other unique handcrafted vendors. 

 As you browse our collection of merchandise, know that each piece has been hand selected by me in keeping with the GingerSweet style. You will find many one of a kind pieces in my curated collections as well as all time favorites you will be able to purchase at a click of a button or shop inside our beautiful gift shop! Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

 

~What's in a name?

GingerSweet Gatherings is a name I made up to define all the things I love for styling a home. (the spice, ginger, always reminded me of a warm, inviting "baking in a farmhouse kitchen" feeling.(Nostalgic of my Great Grandmom Cooper's farmhouse kitchen when she baked cookies!) I love to create a cohesive Home Sweet Home style and the thrill of finding treasures for you. Whether its vintage, antique, rustic, chippy, farmhouse,new, or re-purposed, I believe that all styles can be intertwined to add character and love to any room.

Thank you for supporting my dream and for inspiring me to continue creating and sharing home decor items with you.

 

 

GingerSweet Blessings,
