Our Story

Memories of Home is a unique gift and home décor business that is an intentional beautiful blending of products that will achieve two purposes: 

The first purpose is to glorify God with faith-based merchandise offering Christian gifts to celebrate not only various occasions such as weddings, baptisms, First Communion, Confirmation, anniversaries, and memorials, but also the gift of everyday life. The items are encouraging and uplifting to remind individuals of the much-needed message of Jesus' love and forgiveness.

Hand-in-hand with the faith aspect is the opportunity to honor my rural roots and upbringing and share the memories of a simple life on the small Illinois farm on which I was raised. I wish to communicate a message with others that shares the richness, yet simplicity, of farm life.

Memories of Home

Memories of Home is located on the southwestern outskirts of the Twin Cities area filling a need to serve that local area with unique faith-based products. The portrayed simpler rural life also resonates with those choosing to live just outside the hustle and bustle of urban life. We invite you to visit our store located in the Preserve Village Mall, 9635 Anderson Lakes Parkway in Eden Prairie, MN, at the intersection of Hwy 169, located by Starbucks and Jerry's Foods.

We opened our retail store on October 1, 2013.  We are pleased to offer a selection of gifts online. We welcome your suggestions for products you would like to be available through our online store.  Please check back to see our new arrivals weekly.

The ​Memories of Home ​Facebook Page is great location for ideas and encouragement.  Please like our page to follow us and prioritize your ability to see new posts.
I pray that God will use Memories of Home as an opportunity for me to serve people and help you grow in and strengthen you in your faith-walk. Use the contact us page to leave prayer requests, or fill out a prayer request form in store, and I would be honored to pray for you.  Please leave stories of how the gifts were an encouragement and inspiration for your loved ones. It is God's business and I seek His blessing as I best serve you - my customers - sheep in His kingdom.
