About Us
We’re the wonderfully weird Smith Family—a trio fueled by caffeine, creativity, and a questionable amount of glitter. Between the three of us, there’s no shortage of big ideas, quirky charm, and the occasional “why not?” moment. We love meeting new people, cracking jokes, and bringing a little extra joy to Kansas events with our one-of-a-kind products.
Let’s talk about our MVP: Dad. Jerry is a proud Vietnam veteran living the good life near Leon, KS. These days, he’s semi-retired but fully committed to helping fellow vets and hanging out with his four-legged farm crew. He also patiently endures our harebrained schemes and sarcastic banter (mostly by pretending he can’t hear us—thanks, combat hearing loss).
Fun fact: Before we jumped into this business, Dad was a top Avon rep in the Wichita area. That’s right, our candle-slinging, joke-cracking, animal-loving father once knew more about lip gloss than any man legally should. He’s the one who got us started, and we’ve been running wild with the dream ever since.
Back in 2016, Dad, Michael, and his former better-ish half opened a charming little gift shop in Mulvane, KS. For two glorious years, they sold candles, trinkets, and dreams to the amazing folks of that small town. The Mulvane locals were absolute gems—sweet tea in human form. We felt the small-town love, and we’ve been hooked ever since.
Our real roots? Festival booths and pop-up events. There’s just something magical about selling hand made items, candles and wax melts next to a funnel cake stand and a guy juggling flaming batons. So, we kept popping up at events over the years—and we’re not stopping anytime soon.
Oh, and full disclosure: one of our current side missions is to help Dad find a new wife. Preferably one who doesn’t run off with a guy named John Boy (who, for the record, cant drive a lifted truck and takes bad selfies).
So swing by our booth—shop, chat, maybe matchmake. You never know what you’ll leave with.
