MaryElla's of Drysdale is named in memory of the owner Carolyn Pickett's grandmother - Mary Ella. who enabled her to fulfil her dream of opening a second-hand bookshop near the sea.
Carolyn's grandmother ran her own business, a garage in Heywood in Western Victoria for ten years in the 1960's after the death of her husband. She was an avid reader.
