When I was a little girl, I visited Helen Winnemore’s with my Mom.  It was a memorable and magical place for me…from floor to ceiling there were things I’d never seen before.  It was a place full of wonder, color, texture and possibility!  It was a place I went with someone I love.

Twenty-some years and a few serendipitous events later, I became the third owner of the shop I so loved as a child.

Now after a decade of shopkeeping, it’s still a magical place for me, though the things that make it so have multiplied.  At the shop, friends spend time talking and laughing as they go through the jewelry drawers.  Fathers bring their young daughters and sons to find the right gift for Mom.  Wedding gifts are thoughtfully chosen, knowing they’ll become part of new family traditions.  It is the stuff of everyday life—yet goodness and care is woven through each of these moments—and I am so lucky to be a part of them.

So, thank you…for spending your time with us-online or at “the shop”.  We’re always glad to see you.

Be well.
