I created an Etsy shop in honor of my maternal grandmother, Gladys Peryl Banbury, (1900-1957). Gladys Peryl, a native of the town of Amherst in Nova Scotia, Canada immigrated to New York where she met and married West Indian native Charles Banbury (1889-1950).  They had one child, Doris, and were a happy family until Gladys and Charles divorced when Doris was four years old. Gladys single-handedly raised Doris in South Bronx, New York in a brownstone apartment on Southern Boulevard.  While I never got to meet my grandmother, I dedicate  my handmade creations to my mother Doris by dedicating my shop to her mother, Gladys Peryl.


I created a shop to sell hand knit/crochet accessories for home design and personal use.  Look for my shop coming Fall 2026.
