When you have been in business for 30 years you get the pleasure of watching a lot of families grow. What a joy it is every time a new baby is born! We love to celebrate the birth of a precious new baby! ...

16 years ago we lost our amazing Auntie Barb. She was part of the original Meridian team from the day we opened our doors, 30 years ago. She was full of life, hilarious, kind, generous and she loved unconditionally. Many of our dear customers still remember Barb for her kind and warm ways. She loved so easily and was a true friend to all who knew her. Although we miss her and she is no longer with us, she is still very much a part of our family and her memory lives on. ❤️ ...
