Staff Monthly Pick: Martha Jones | |
Martha has been a resident of Greensboro for nearly forty years, since moving here with her husband in 1980, just as the lake country began to flourish. She became familiar with Genuine Georgia through her dear friend, Cynthia Smith. Martha has now been a dedicated employee of Genuine Georgia for about fifteen years, and never fails to leave customers without a smile on their face! | |
For this month's staff spotlight, Martha has chosen beautiful Honey Pot Luminaries created by Bee Natural. These pieces are individually handcrafted from unstrained, raw beeswax. No two candles are exactly alike, as they are made with real and unique flowers. | | | |
