Thanks so much for joining the Lily Pad Army. My name is Katie Cates, I am the proud owner of The Lily Pad Shop. A little about me, I am the wife to an amazing husband and momma to a handsome young boy. We are currently living “our best life” in Jackson, TN. I’ve always dreamt of having my own shop, but it was only after some time and life experiences that when the moment felt right I could finally say when to make it happen. I’ve worked in a big box store and quickly got promoted from customer service to the manager - then shortly after that I began to travel to train employees on merchandising. I spent years working desk jobs to make ends meet, you got to do what you gotta do, right? I never gave up on my dream and couldn’t stop thinking about owning my own boutique that I could help design the unique style and sophisticated fashion that I feel so strong about. I thoroughly enjoy helping women find the perfect ensemble for her every day, busy life – blending professional, party and just plain pretty. I feel beyond blessed to have now launched my very own online shop, The Lily Pad!
