About

Founded in 1995 on Main Street in Ventura, California, Things From Heaven originally sold angel gifts and gourmet foods.

After a few months, owners, Keith and Francesca Richardson, learned that their customers wanted the angels, while the food sat on the shelves.

But why did we want to sell angels?

Before opening their gift shop, the Richardson family was going through hard times. Mr. Richardson was out of work, and nobody was hiring in his field. As a last resort, Keith and Francesca decided they wanted to open a store, but had no clue what kind.

They looked into opening a thrift shop, but could not find an organization to sponsor them. So, they decided to open a shop of their own. One night, Mrs. Richardson had a dream. A friend of hers, that she had not seen for many years, but whom she had known committed suicide, came to her with a book. She read the book along with her friend. The book was about angels.

The next morning Mrs. Richardson was overtaken with the realism of her dream, and told her family all the details. She stressed how she read every word along with her friend. Keith and Francesca’s son, Kevin, looked at her and just shook his head. He had just recently learned that because of the way the human brain works, you cannot read in a dream.

The Richardson family took this as a sign. Keith then proposed the idea to his father, since he was going to be funding the startup of the store. His father thought it was the worst idea he had ever heard.

So, he demanded that they sell gourmet food along with a few angels. His reasoning was: If the food doesn’t sell, at least you can eat it.

But the food didn’t sell. While the angels continue to be enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year.

We are not a large chain, and we do not have warehouses full of angel items. We simply make them available through our one store and our web site. New items are always arriving, as we close out older lines of angels. This can make it hard to have angels for sale on this web site, which is why we have a limited selection on-line.

When you purchase gifts through AngelGift.com, Keith and Francesca personally take care of your order, with angels right off the shelves of Things From Heaven. We thank you for taking the time to look through our web site, and welcome you to visit us in Ventura, California.
