Gifts of Wit & Whimsy
Lula Mae isn't just a great place to shop, she was also a real lady. Lula Mae Whitfield Thomas was the great, great grandmother of shop owner Marci Toombs. She was mother to Lola, Vivian, Luther, Opal, and George. When Lola died much too young, Lula Mae took up the task of raising her daughters Charlene and Mazie. To this day, Aunt Mazie and Grandma Charlene are Lula Mae' s biggest fan' s (the store and the person)!
Lula Mae made clothes for her whole family, kept house, and doled out advice. She even chased people away from the house with a shotgun and a one-liner: " I' ll see you later if the Devil has no objections."
If these aren't reasons enough to name the boutique after her, then we don' t know what are!
Lula Mae, gifts of style, wit, and whimsy, lives by the motto: "We think simple-simple, but we always end up overdoing it. More is more." And is that really such a bad thing?! We are the retail equivalent of that friend of yours who never leaves the house without lipstick on, cracks you up over coffee, and always remembers your birthday.
Lula Mae is pleased to announce that we are celebrating our 8 year anniversary, all year long! We'll take any excuse to have a party and as soon as we get this jar of olives open, we'll be on our way.
We delight in making your Lula Mae experience unlike any other. Service like the good old days is our aim. We've got a huge crush on all things nostalgic.
