What began as a simple invitation in 2018—to partner with dear friends in hosting local trunk shows—has grown into something much more. From a small upstairs space above our family business with limited hours, we’ve grown into a cozy little shop inside a 100-year-old home in downtown Casper’s business district, now open more often and welcoming more souls through the door.

When our friends moved out of state to pursue new callings, we discerned that this mission must continue. We knew our community—and many beyond—still needed what we set out to offer: truth, beauty, and goodness. What we do isn’t just business—it’s ministry. A God-given calling to help bring hearts closer to Him.

Our hope is simple: that anyone who walks through our doors might feel a sense of peace. That they’ll find beauty in the sacred items around them, and perhaps take something home—whether for themselves or a loved one—that draws them nearer to Christ. Not by our doing, but by the grace and goodness He has poured into this mission.

I grew up Catholic in a small town in central Kansas. The youngest of 8 children raised on a Herford and wheat farm. At age 19 I relocated to Casper, WY, following family and a handsome young man I had met back when I was 16 years of age. I wanted to get to know this guy whom I thought would be a pretty amazing husband, and it turns out all that was true. My husband and I have been married 40 years and have three beautiful children (one beautiful daughter and two handsome sons), one daughter-in-law, one son-in-law, and an amazing grandson and granddaughter whom we adore. We had the privilege of homeschooling our children, our primary reason for doing so was to bring faith into their studies and to cultivate a love for the Catholic faith.

About six months after the first nudge Sarah started chatting with me about her desire to open a faith-based Book & Gift shop. I encouraged her as she discerned that desire and soon she was asking me to start the venture together. I have never looked back and feel completely blessed to offer beautiful faith filled items to our customers.

When I am not working, my favorite thing to do is spend time with our sweet grandchildren Giovanni and Eliana Rose, our three incredible kids, and our amazing son-in-law and daughter-in-law. Life is always better when we are sharing it with those whom we love. Some of the things we enjoy together are hiking, camping, biking, & gardening. I love exploring new places. Life is an adventure in every way and we give all glory to our amazing Lord who has gifted it to us. I also enjoy reading and learning more about our beautiful faith.
