Magnolia House — Local services in Southaven

Words are not sufficient in expressing how much love I have for this store and how much I adore and respect the owner. From the first time I visited Magnolia House, I knew it was different. I was greeted with a warm smile by the owner Nancy Veldman who promptly asked what she could help me with. What was initially an impromptu stop at a beautiful retail store, led to one of the most treasured friendships I now have today. Never have I gone into Magnolia House and not seen Nancy welcoming customers with her smile and warm southern charm. Her compassion and empathy is felt through not only her music, which is played in the store, but also through each conversation you have with Nancy.

I never gate-keep and love spreading the word...

Was doing a little window shopping after lunch with a friend last Thursday. Wondered in to Magnolia House and was pleasantly surprised by all the interesting and beautiful things in the shop! We both found some items we couldn’t do without, some gifts for friends and family, and a lovely little bookshop in the back of her store filled with so much that I’m going back this week to find more goodies! We met the owner, Nancy Veldman, and were intrigued and totally blessed by her life and story. We were immediately friends! When we checked out, she added a few “gifts” to our bags! I encourage everyone to check out her store and meet her. Don’t forget to ask about how she got from Destin to Mississippi. You will be...
