Sisters In Spirit Shoppe

  Paula M. Costa was born a leader. Her positive attitude, hard work and dedication led to the opening of her own plus size womens clothing store in Fall River, Massachusetts from 1989-1991.  When the venture failed due to a slump in the economy, she went back to school and received her Paralegal certificate and earned a 4.0 G.P.A. She then worked as a paralegal for a few months before she realized that her heart belonged to the clothing and fashion industry.

            Paula returned to her former line of of work and quickly moved her way up to an assistant managers position in a popular plus size womens clothing store. She then accepted a position as manager at the same company but in a different state.She has spent the past 13 years making untold amounts of money for the corporate monster. She decided that, if she was going to make money for anyone, it was going to be for herself. And so, the journey to once again own her own store, began.

              Make no mistake...though she loves her work in the fashion industry, there is so much more to her than meets the eye! When Paula isn't working to beautify the world one woman at a time, you can find her cooking, travelling,trying her luck at the casino and of course, shopping. She has an extensive collection of clown figurines and is a HUGE Dean Martin fan.As a matter of fact if you look close enough you will find that, on occasion, her extra long fingernails will not only be painted flourescent green (her favorite color), but they will also be adorned with Dean Martin himself!

               Paula is also a fun loving, adventurous woman who treasures her family and friends. She draws strength from the supportive realtionships she has with these special people to meet the challenges of everyday life. Though, like many of us, she has lost both friend and family along the way, the new friendships she forges are strong and help to fill any space in her heart with love.Together with her business partner (as well as her partner in crime) she looks toward the future and sees it full of hard work, promise and prosperity.
