One Quirky Story

Hi! My name is Heather! I'm married to my college sweetheart & the momma to a sweet, redhead boy. I'm also a color fanatic, animal lover, sunset chaser, gardening enthusiast, & I have a slight addiction to Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper. I love Jesus & am continuously chasing the joy that can only from Him! While I reside in Oklahoma these days, I grew up with a dad from Dallas,TX & a mom from Tuscaloosa, AL -- needless to say, these southern roots go DEEP!

In 2020, as my son prepared to start kindergarten, I realized I needed a change to fill my days. With over a decade of experience as a portrait photographer and graphic designer, I wanted to embark on a new chapter.

I prayed for guidance on my purpose, feeling like God was silent at times—until I discovered His sense of humor! I’ve always loved picking out the perfect gifts, whether it’s appreciation gifts for teachers, fresh flowers for friends, or special holiday surprises. It became clear that my purpose was to help others spread joy through creative gift-giving.

When I shared this "EUREKA!" moment with my husband, he encouraged me to pursue my dream of opening a gift shop. Now, I'm excited to celebrate nearly two years of this online retail and pop-up adventure!

Every product at Southern Quirks Gifts & Goods is colorful, fun & bursting with southern charm! For those who find shopping for gifts to be a daunting task, my goal is to make it an effortless & delightful gift-giving experience for you. Though we're starting small over here, my dream is that soon we can to become a "one stop shop" for every person in your life.
