Inspired by her grandfather's successful furniture business in Kashmir, Walnut Willie's, Suzy decided to start her own business in Jackson, Tennessee. Thus, Lazy Suzy was born. With her previous connections from her grandfather's business, Suzy is able to import goods, such as rugs, papier-mâché, and jewelry, from various parts of Asia. This means that Lazy Suzy has a unique collection of goods that would be difficult to find otherwise.
