W O M E N I N B U S I N E S S Our mission at Poppy's is to make every customer feel happy when they walk in and out of our store! We are lucky enough to be in an industry that can bring happiness and joy to someone. We offer in house design services. We have anything from pillows, lamps, rugs, and art to antiques, lacquered furniture, new case goods, and upholstery. We can also lacquer and refinish any of your personal items. Why do you do what you do? When my son was two, I was teaching preschool, and this started as more of a hobby. It quickly grew thanks to social media! Now we ship all over the U.S. and even to the Caribbean. I love what I do because I get to help other people's vision come to life in their homes! In five years I hope to have a few more locations! We currently have two: one in Macon and one in St. Simons. The best advice I have ever received is stay focused on the goal and stay humble. None of this is really "mine." I am just using the gi s God has given me! My advice for women: Find your passion and start small. Let it grow and evolve to what is meant to be organically. No matter what there will be curve balls and things that aren't in the plan but use them as a learning experience instead of a setback. I am grateful for my husband, family, employees, customers, and my friends! I couldn't do any of this without them.
