OUR JOURNEY
As a young girl, my mom would drag me around our small town to shop for items, groceries, clothes, shoes, etc. During the summer, my Grandmother Effie would visit with us for about a week or so and she too would be subjected to my mother’s perusing sometimes and on many occasions would opt to just sit in the car. Often times these trips would annoy me to no end. And in most of these cases, you would find me looking at all of the oddities or specialty items. Hey! They just seemed more intriguing and unique to me, moreso than what my mother may have been shopping for at the time.
As I grew older, I realized that maybe this wasn’t such a unique unction that I had. I still loved to wander around and look for that specialty section in the store or that unique gift shop, no matter the city, state or country. As years passed on and the more I traveled to different places as an adult with my mother, I realized that she too had an eye for neat little items, things that maybe you didn’t see everywhere, but also something that simply spoke to her spirit. She would often not just buy things for herself, but on numerous occasions she used those moments to buy special gifts for others, and not just a gift, but a gift that had meaning, she would say. I believe that her careful attention to detail and no rush attitude was just a sign that she felt the products she purchased needed to whisper, I love you, to the receiver.
Those fond memories with my mother, yes, I ‘ve learned to cherish them more. And over the years, I would often ponder, how I could bring similar moments in time to others. Out of my own personal reflections, Effie Mae’s Gifts and Things was born. Thank you for stopping in and shopping with us. I feel certain that you've found that special gift here - you know, the very one that speaks love and sparks joy way deep down within.
Sincerely,
