~
The Mother of the Little Flower~
(St. Therese of Lisieux)

Welcome to The Lacemaker's Shop
Visit the home of a saint (St. Therese of Lisieux---known as the beloved Little Flower) and her mother (Zelie Martin).
Sit down with Zelie Martin in her lace shop for a cup of warm tea and hear her actual words and advice for how she raised her children in a house full of faith and love.
You will be inspired by how the Martin family did all for the greater glory and honor of God.  And you will learn how they accepted God's will in their lives despite tragedies and hardships including:

war, enemy occupancy, illness, death, educational decisions, financial burdens, business problems, cancer, a problem child, and disrespect for their faith and beliefs.

"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat.  Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them.  In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us.  As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven."
~Zelie Martin
