Who would ever thought that an expensive ladies clothing store would thrive and survive in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. But here it is, going strong for the fourth year on Main Street. Certainly, I felt the store was doomed to fail.
Sandra and her artist husband moved to Liverpool five years ago. They moved from Toronto. David has made a good living from his art. Sandra worked for wealthy and famous people. Her task was dressing these ladies who needed to look good. They were both approaching retirement age so Sandra suggested they vacation in Nova Scotia. While there, they fell in love and bought a house by the shore. After all the details were wrapped up in Toronto, they moved and renovated their new home. It is beautiful.
Sandra had always wanted to own a dress store. She needed something to do for herself so she checked out who comes to spend the summers here and discovered that an affluent group of people spend time on the south shore so she opened her little shop. Much to my great surprise, her shop is a big hit especially with those folks who "come from away". She has a great eye for fashion so her clothes appeal to lots of people. When Rita and I were in her store this week, several other ladies were busily buying clothes. Rita bought three wonderful shirts from the sale rack. I was not wanting clothes but Sandra suggested several items she insisted I try on, just for fun. Of course, I bought them all. Sandra is a not a bit pushy but she is pleasant and fun and she wants to help.
The store is named after Sandra's Mother. I am always fascinated with success, especially when it is unexpected. She had a vision that escaped me. Hats off to Sandra.
