About Grace's

Hello All . . .

This post will hopefully introduce you to the people behind Grace's. First, we are all originally from St. Bernard Parish Louisiana and ended up in Humble Texas because of Hurricane Katrina. St. Bernard Parish was devastated by Katrina, we ended up with 14 feet of water at our home and of course lost everything. However, despite this tragedy we are very grateful to be where we are today. The people of Texas have embraced us and supported us in our efforts to rebuild our lives here.

There are three of us who own Grace's Unique Gift Boutique and surprisingly enough we didn't own a gift and home decor shop in Louisiana. We all three had different careers, one a counselor, one a personal banker and the other a computer technician. It seemed an exciting idea, since we had to start life over that we should start with a new career that we thoroughly enjoyed. Grace's was formed and we have worked diligently to offer our new community quality products at very affordable prices.

Probably the number one question we are asked is "who is Grace?". Grace's was named after our dog. Her name is Gracie. She is a beautiful buff cockerspaniel. We all love animals and wanted to make sure we incorporated our pets in our store.

Now you know who we are, let us know about you. Leave your comments to this post and let us know about you and by all means give us your opinion about our website and our store (if you have been in to visit us.)

We look forward to hearing from all of you!

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day is here. It is a time for us to reflect on everything our Mothers are to us everyday. I find it a little sad that most of us wait until this one day each year to appreciate our Moms. However, I am proud to see so many people coming into the store and logging on to our website to buy their Mothers something special on this day.

As many of you know, my Mother and Grandmother passed away in August of 2005 but I still honor them everyday of my life and I try to do something extra special on Mother's Day in their memory.

This Mother's Day Eric, Sean and I have volunteered to help out a friend of ours who owns Roma's Cucina Italiana. She is a little short handed this year and we have volunteer to be servers, bartenders, bus boys or anything else she needs us to do. I feel like my Mom and Grandmother would be proud of us for helping out a friend.

If you don't have any plans for Mother's Day, please come spend it with us at Roma's Cucina Italiana. It is located at the intersection of W. Lake Houston Parkway and Upper Lake in Atascocita. Reservations are NOT required.

Handmade Candles

Okay, the first test of the handmade candles has been a complete success. We made two different scents. I poured only 5 candles of each scent as a test. We placed a tester of the candles on our Candle Warmer in the store and we have already sold out of both scents. We will be introducing some new special scents and candles soon so stay tuned!
