A little about us
Welcome to Joy and Gumbo, where creativity meets heart! Our name reflects something truly special—a blend of my middle name and the name of my beloved canine companion, Gumbo. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Louisiana, our shop is a celebration of joy, passion, and craftsmanship.
At Joy and Gumbo, our mission is simple: to spread happiness through delightful, high-quality creations that everyone can enjoy. We are proud to offer premium products at prices that make them accessible because we believe that joy should be within reach for all.
Thank you for helping us make every moment a little brighter!
Meet the Crew

Meet our newest family member, Chantilly—aka Tilly! This sweet rescue pup joined us from a shelter in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and has already filled our home with endless joy and boundless energy. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this sweet girl!

Meet my fur babies, my greatest cheerleaders! Gumbo, my golden-colored boy, and Rue, my black Lab, have been my constant companions and sources of strength throughout veterinary school. They’re not just dogs—they’re my heart, my joy, and my daily reminders of why I chose this journey.
Owner, Designer
Hi! I'm Erica
I’m a veterinary student driven by a deep passion for animals and an enduring love for creativity. My middle name, Joy, is a tribute to my late grandmother, a talented florist whose artistry and connection to nature inspired everyone around her. Through my creations, I strive to honor her legacy by capturing the beauty and wonder she saw in the world. Whether caring for animals or crafting something special, my greatest hope is to share a little piece of that joy with everyone who crosses my path.
