Mission Celebrate is a small business based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with a mission to help customers celebrate life’s milestones and moments. Mississippi artist, Leslie Gonce, creates a wide variety of products such as custom stationery and invitations, unique t-shirt designs, beautiful tea towels, colorful decals and more - all featuring her unique and original art. Leslie started designing stationery and invitations for her daughters years ago when they were young and she was a stay-at-home mom. When she began getting requests from others for paper products, she went into business creating custom designs based on her clients' requests and needs. Now that her daughters are grown, Leslie is broadening her horizons. She still loves not only doing custom work, but also developing new ideas and creating art for products both personalized and for retail sale.

What makes us most proud of producing Genuine MS products?

Leslie moved to Mississippi as a junior high school student and Texan Transplant but it didn't take her long to fall in love with the Magnolia State. From the lush green landscape we get to enjoy here for many months out of the year to the waters of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, so many features of the state inspire Leslie to create her art. She could not be more thrilled to be among so many creatives and makers in the state that are delighted to not only call this state home, but also proud to promote Mississippi-made products.

How does buying Genuine MS products make a difference here in Mississippi?

Creating art here in Mississippi is a blessing to Leslie and she hopes to spread that blessing to her customers and clients through her Mississippi-made art. Supporting local artisans and keeping dollars here in our wonderful state makes a difference now and in the years to come.
