Love and Light with
Lillie Mae Candles
By Monique Ward
Sojourner’s Truth Reporter
Friends, family and clients came
together on Saturday, November 19 to celebrate the business
success of Monica Smith, owner of Lillie Mae Candles. The
surprise affair was organized by her husband, Andre Smith,
at Ice Restaurant and Bar. Guests enjoyed delectable hors
d’oeuvres and desserts during the party. Lillie Mae Candles
were available for purchase before and following the event.
Smith’s grandmother was named
Lillie Mae Woodberry and she passed away about two years
ago. “My grandmother, who I affectionately called Ma, was a
sharp lady who always smelled really good,” said Smith. “I
wanted to honor her life and legacy by creating a product
that I believed would represent her well so I came up with
The Lillie Mae Candle Company.”
Smith will be celebrating her
first full year in business soon. “I sell soy candles, soy
melts, candle/tart burners and t-shirts as well as Lillie
Mae-branded apparel. Candles can be customized for all
special occasions including birthdays, baby showers,
weddings with no minimum order required,” Smith added.
Lillie Mae Candles is an
online store and can be found at www.lilliemaecandles.com.
Smith can be reached at 419-654-2640 and she delivers orders
locally in Toledo.
