Saving Graces Doll Shoppe opened for business on Monday, August 7, 2000, in Provo, Utah, with Maria Brady as owner.  I am originally from South Carolina, where most of my family of 9 brothers and sisters still live.  Utah has been my home for the past 31 years.  I love it here in Utah; it's a great place for my 2 daughters to grow up.  However, I'm still a southern girl and maybe someday, I'll go south again.

Business Update: In March of 2006, I started working part-time a couple of nights a week for a women's clothing store in Orem, Utah, called Christopher & Banks.  I loved it.  In June 2009, I was offered the full-time position of Assistant Manager at the Provo, Utah store.  Since the economy had greatly affected the sale of dolls, I accepted the position. 

As of July 2009, I began working full-time, up to 40 hours a week as the Assistant Manager of the Provo Christopher & Banks.  I still have my doll shop, but it is my part-time job now.  I have 2 days off each week, and on these 2 days I am working with the dolls.  Your doll orders may take a little longer to ship out, but they do get shipped out. 

The best way to reach me now is by email.  I check my email every night after I get home from work.  You can still leave me a phone message, but it may take a while for me to call you back.  I have to wait until I have a day off during the week.  If I have a Saturday or Sunday off from work, I try to spend that time at home.
