NATALIE & JEWELL

 ❤️ 😭 So I’m making the last  PERFUME TESTER ENVELOPES and I look over at the last two:  NATALIE & JEWELL, my parents, and I cried.   GRANNY LUCILLE’s envelope was behind theirs.  


❤️ Everything I’m doing is because of them.  


❤️ Daddy’s work ethic.

I made a promise to Granny Lucille before she went to heaven in 1990, that I would tell the next generations in our family about her.  She passed on the storytelling mantle to me.  I continue to tell my great-grandchildren about her and the history of our family…KNOCKINGSTONES.  

❤️ 

And now I have been given this opportunity to tell you.  

❤️ 

MARY MARCIA, MAKING SCENTS & PRETTY THINGS IN KC, is part of my promise to Granny Lucille.  The signature fragrances are my way of honoring every single member of my family that I love with all my heart.

❤️ 

Natalie and Jewell and Granny Lucille won’t be at the LAUNCH AND LUNCH tomorrow at QUEEN BEE BOUTIQUES with Sarah and Faith and me, so I pray God will let them peek through the veil that now separates us and see how I’m honoring them until we meet again.

❤️ 

I love them with all my heart.  

❤️ 



THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

COME BACK OFTEN AND INVITE YOUR FRIENDS.

❤️ 

Always Grateful.

Always Learning.

Flawed but Fabulous.

Mary

LOVE LETTER TO THE GENERATIONS

Image
 March 2025 Dear ❤️ Zoomers (Gen Z),   ❤️ Millenials (Gen Y), ❤️ Gen X,  and ❤️ Gen Alpha… I hear your anger and frustration and the conclusions you have thus far drawn from what you deem as truth. If you were my daughter or son or granddaughter or grandson I would invite you over for my homemade oatmeal cookies and sweet tea.  We would eat, drink, talk, really listen to each other with respect,  and pray together.   I would tell you stories of our family:  their loves and losses, their faith and values, and their work ethic, with the hope that their stories would inspire you to seek the truth and reach for the destiny God created you to fulfill. Granny Mary Lucille would say she was born in “19 and 5,” a member of the Greatest Generation (1901-1929). She was the single most important person in my life who influenced me more than anyone else. Granny came to Missouri in a covered wagon with her mother and father and 13 siblings when she was 10 years old...

❤️ SKY, SAND and SEA MANUSCRIPT PRINTING TABLET

 ❤️ Children need a fun, creative approach to writing and the correct pencil grip.  Who better to create a handwriting tablet for early childhood learners than me?  I educated and encouraged three generations of readers-in-training, writers-in-training and artists-in-training in public and private schools, in homeschool and I trained preschool teachers.  I taught drawing classes to first through fifth grade through Young Rembrandts, a global program and recognized leader in art education. ❤️ It’s my dream to give the 22.53 million children aged 0 to 5 years living in the United States plus the estimated 600 million children around the world under 5 years old - the tools they need to read, write, draw and have fun doing it. ❤️  Breakthrough SKY, SAND and SEA MANUSCRIPT PRINTING TABLET for Preschool, Kindergarten & Primary Students ❤️ For more information contact       Mary Marcia, AKA Missy Marsh.   ❤️ (816) 728-9676 (Call or Text) ❤️ mary...
