After spending over two decades in the Corporate World I wanted to be with my children more as the time goes so fast. I also wanted to create a meaningful work life balance that would work best for our family. My Grandfather started a small lawn and garden business that my Father eventually bought so I grew up in a small retail business.
When I moved to Ave Maria the opportunity to open a gift boutique opened up to me to pursue one of my favorite pastimes: shopping also known by many as retail therapy. My favorite part of opening the store is discovering all the new products and the people and stories behind them. I have also really enjoyed the beautiful people that have come to work, shop, and visit the store. It brings me great joy when I see someone find a meaningful gift whether it be for a friend, themselves, or their home.
We would love to see you soon!
