My name is Wendy Raymond, and I'm the owner of, Southern Lilly Designs. Veteran, and in 2011,after moving around to many different places over the years, we settled back into my home state of Georgia! This is where Southern Lilly Designs was born and now resides. Prior to opening, Southern Lilly Designs, I spent much of my life in the medical field, and then the tech world. I never felt 100% calle
d to what I was doing. I didn't feel like that's where I should be. I always knew that there was something out that I should be doing, but I didn't have the time to explore new options. After losing one lung spontaneously, and the birth of my first grandchild, Lilly, I did a lot of reevaluating. I knew that this store was a dream I always had, but wasn't quite sure how to make it happen. Around that time, I had the unique opportunity to take a little bit of time off from work. I mean, I did lose a lung! I decided that I wanted to spend the rest of my life finding beautiful things to share. Because this business is my first grandchild name sake, I take an exceptional amount of time researching the best products as well as artisans. I want simply the best not only for my sweet baby, but my customers as well. While some may be pretty, or fun, others may be a simple pair of earrings that make you or someone you love, feel special. That is my goal. Each product is hand selected by me. That's it! Just me. This has been the most rewarding experience, (other than previous Lilly) that I have ever had. One thing that will always set us apart, is our customer service. I have my hands in 100% of what goes on with my customers. You will always hear from me, personally. I don't leave my customers in anyones hands but my own! Over the life of this store, you are going to see anything from clothing and housewares, to handmade jewelry. If I see it, and I think my customers will love it, I will share it with you. I hope you come to love my store as much as I do. Stay, shop, enjoy. I'm so happy to have you! Wendy
