With Love, Gladys Peryl


Gladys Peryl Banbury (L),
Doris Banbury (14 yrs) and Gladys Peryl Banbury, (R) June 11, 1944, New York
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.
