Our Story
My name is Shanna, not Mary Ann (although I will answer to it). Mary Ann is a combination of my grandmothers name (Mary Lou) and my mother (Patricia Ann). These two women are by far the most influential people in my world. Their love, devotion, support and amazing strength of character are things I am grateful for every day of my life.
As a bonus, Mary Anne is also a book written by my favorite author, Daphne DuMaurier. Mary Anne is an ancestor of DuMaurier. From rags to riches to rags again, Mary Anne gracefully accepts life, as I try to as well.
Our little online store has evolved so much over the years. We offer used and antiquarian books, Tillandsias, Envirosax, Konad Stamping Nail Art, Damsel in Defense products and trinkets of all kinds.
Books are still what I am most passionate about and like most booksellers, the books I offer vary. My focus when hunting new books to offer, however, is antiquarian. I love the look, the feel, even the smell of aged or simply well loved books.
