Why did I name my store Shirley’s Memories?
Very simple. One of the most amazing women in my life was my grandmother. Her name is Shirley. Here is a picture of her.
My grandmother made me the woman who I am today. I am forever grateful for her playing a huge part in raising me. No matter what life threw at me, she was always there with kind words, a hug and that huge smile she has. She was the sweetest woman I have ever known.
She lived her life for her family. You could never leave her house without a full stomach. She was a genuine Italian. Loved to cook, eat, and cook for others. You could see the sparkle in her eye as she watched you eat her amazing food. Some of the best times spent were sitting across from her on her dinning room table. That is where she is in the picture above. Sitting at her favorite spot in the dinning room. She would wait for her family there with a smile and a hug as you came to see her. And the food she made, you could tell it was made with love. Everything she did was always with love.
My grandmother always encouraged me to do something I loved for a living. I always knew I wanted to sell online. I love computers, retail, and I love people. She would throw eBay out there all of the time. I didn’t believe in myself like she did. I didn’t think I could run a business on my own. But after she passed I knew I wanted to do something that would make her proud.
I also wanted to keep her memory alive. A light bulb went off in my head and that was when Shirley’s Memories was created. As corny as it may sound…I finally found what I was looking for. =) I love what I do and wouldn’t have it any other way. Welcome to Shirley’s Memories.
