    YAY for giveaways!

    Ok 3 things I like about LilacAVE:
    1. Your candles are awesome smelling and come in some really cool containers (at least the ones I got do!)
    2. You are a super helpful military spouse selling on Etsy that's supportive of LOADS of other military wives!
    3. How you started out with a small goal, and yet your business has flourished into something AMAZING! (I'm in awe of your super business savvy!)

    First of all, congrats on 3 years!! That really is something to celebrate!

    I love your candles, they always smell great and are high quality! The soy tarts I purchased from you are pretty amazing also!
    You also have a great personality and offer great customer service! And last, I love that you are selling bath salts, lotions, and lip balms...haven't tried them yet, but plan on it soon! I just know they will be wonderful :)

    3 years! Congrats Deb!
    1. I loved that your candles came in recycled packaging.
    2. No one can turn down a scent named "monkey farts".
    3. I love that you are doing your own thing and have become so successful.

    Congratulations on 3 years of running a successful business. I hope you have many more years to come!

    1. I love the smell of your candles/tarts. The scent is strong, but not overpowering. They smell strong not only as a full product, but as you're burning them too. And the scent lingers.
    2. You work unbelievably hard to get where you find yourself today. You understand that dreams cannot be achieved without hard work.
    3. You are an amazingly supportive woman, helping to make other small business succeed.

    My favorite three things about Lilac Ave:
    1) The creatrice behind the company is a really great lady! Super nice, very smart, funny, and a great mom to boot.
    2) The customer service is awesome!
    3) The stories behind the store front are really interesting to me. I love reading on the blog about Deb's learning experiences, about her ventures into the world of vegetarian/veganism, or about learning that she is a great parent to her son, or about her family's renovation of their house. I love learning more about a fabulous lady that I consider a friend. :]

    3 things...
    1. I like that LilacAve is owned by you, and you are one of the kindest, most supportive people I know.

    2. I love that your goal is to offer people the very best products that you can. You ask for feedback, you do your research, and you have evolved to be the best you can be.

    3. I just really love things that smell pretty and make me smell pretty.
