For Alma Home was started by Traci Ford in dedication to her aunt Alma. They have beautiful and unique home goods.
For Alma Home began as a fun and creative way to entertain my nieces, Kennedy and Kendall. Fun and creativity evolved into a cathartic way to remember one of my favorite people, my aunt, Alma.
During the fall of 2010, Alma passed away as gracefully as she lived, without any pomp and circumstance, just a glass of wine and an ever present book. Alma was very smart and even more creative. She could sew a leather coat or make a simple birthday card. She built miniature doll houses with estate quality furniture and cooked a full gourmet meal for herself on any day of the week. Alma and I shared a passion for reading that ALMOST surpassed her love for shopping. We were known to read 1 or 2 books a day, especially during our bad weather sleep-overs. She LOVED to shop for clothing and matching accessories. Mostly, I remember how much she loved her children and grandchildren, her nieces and nephews, and how she worshipped her sisters. I remember how proud she was of everything each of us accomplished and her uncanny manner of communicating anything she wanted us to know.
