About Us
Jennifer Palmer, Owner
I am a long time resident and graduate of Owasso. I have a lovely family, my husband of 15 years, Rich, my daughter Brenna and my other daughter Haley, who recently lost her battle with cystic fibrosis and went home to be with Jesus.
I have always been involved with children and their learning environment, as I was a certified daycare/ preschool provider for 6 years and I have also worked in the Owasso Public School systems for 2 years as support staff at Barnes Elementary.
First and foremost, my goal in life was to be there for my children while they were growing up. It is very important for me to take them to school, go to school parties and field trips and be available for school projects and parties. I have enjoyed every bit of this time that I have been allowed and am so grateful.
My oldest daughter, Haley, struggled over the past few years with difficulties from cystic fibrosis. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with this terrible disease in 2008. It is now up to me to continue Haley's legacy. She was an excellent student and took her studies very seriously. Even when she was in the hospital for weeks and unable to attend school she always put her studies first. She maintained a 4.0 GPA in all honors classes. She always gave 100% of herself in everything she did. Her motto in life was, "Footprints in history aren't made sitting down". That is why we have decided to honor Haley and dedicate our store classroom to her and name it "Haley's Love of Learning Classroom". She always made us so proud.
Brenna, my youngest, is 10 years old and is in 5th grade in Owasso. She is an extremely gifted student and she also strives to do her very best. She is very active in softball, piano and guitar and Odyssey of the Mind. She loves to hang out with her friends, sing and play video games. She is very excited to help out in this new venture of opening a store!!
We are so looking forward to providing a much-needed educational store in Owasso!

I have always wanted to own my own retail store. At first I wanted to own a gift shop with Precious Moments and Boyds’ Bears (two of my many collections), but as I got older and had my own children I got especially interested in their education and their needs. That is what led me to the Universtity of Tulsa and a degree in Deaf Education. After graduation I became the director of a gymnastics school and have taught gymnastics for the past 10 years.
I am married to my wonderful husband, Doug, and we have three children, Delaney age 9, Dalton age 6, and Colby who will be 2 in November. In my spare time (as much as any mom has) I own a Just Between Friends Consignment sale and still teach gymnastics part time.
After the birth of Colby, my life took a drastic turn in a whole new direction. I suffered my first of four heart attacks. After several surgeries and 18 months of focusing on my health, I knew I wanted to take a new direction, a new career. I came back to my dream of owning my own retail store.
Owasso is in dire need of a teacher and educational supply store and I am honored to provide this service to the community I have come to love and adore.
