Lilly’s Playhouse

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

img_18311I get this question every once in a while about Lilly’s playhouse. “Is there really a Lilly’s playhouse like the design you offer?”

Actually, there is.  It’s a dreamy escape for any little girl, but the tween Lilly is enjoying it more as a retreat from her parents, especially when friends come over.  “It’s a place to go that no one can hear us,” shared Lilly with me, with a giggle.

She has it fully equipped with electricity which lights up the inside with twinkle lights and the outside with Christmas lights, which Lilly feels should be kept up all year long.  It also keeps her refrigerator running so that she can serve cold drinks to her friends. (Don’t get any ideas here, it’s apple juice, I’m the one who fills it).

There’s an IPod for the ever necessary tunes to play a little Hannah Montana, High School Musical or other necessary sounds anyann_lillyshouse_text1 tween enjoys.

 The design of Lilly’s playhouse was originally just for Lilly, but I’ve found that lots of people like Lilly’s playhouse for notes.  We have sent some very creative moving announcements using this design as well as house warming parties and baby announcements like the one shown.

It’s the playhouse I would have dreamed of as a child. A place to go that’s quiet and my own.  Maybe I should consider using it while she’s at school!

Here’s a sneak peak at the inside!img_0262 Yes, there’s even wireless service…

Things are starting to Buzz…zz

Friday, April 10th, 2009

There is all kinds of activity around here.  People are buzzing, the air is buzzing. Our bees are certainly buzzing louder than anything!  We have orders coming in for retirement parties (how lovely), bridal showers (how grand), surprise birthday parties (how fun) and my favorite was the elopement (how fabulous)! All asking to use our bumble bee for their special occasions! I love that!

I must say that I love our bumble bees, but only on paper and fabrics or on things like these planters below.  Aren’t they nice? I also adore bumble bee pins.

It might surprise you to know that I have an entire wall, in my house, full of honeycomb.  Right.  Bees make me panic because when I see a bee, I know they are searching out my walls.  We don’t have snow removal here, we have bee removal.  We have taken out bricks in our chimney and had huge honeycombs pulled out.  The first time it was REALLY cool, now… not so much.

So let’s keep the bees to pretty things like planters, stickers, and stationery and keep them far from… me, unless it’s the jewelry… honey.

Buzzz…

… a baby elephant!  Yes, it’s true.  This past week San Diego zoo welcomed a bouncing baby boy elephant.  He’s no little baby, weighing in at 226 pounds.  He looks really cute, I can’t wait to go see him at the San Diego Wild Animal Park.  Follow this link to see the live web cam of the baby elephant and other animals at the zoo.
This is one place not to miss megain.smugmug.com
lfl_ann_circustentwhen you visit San Diego. 

If you know someone who is expecting a new member of the family, our circus tent design is perfect for using for a baby shower, especially if the mother-to-be hasn’t found out if she is expecting a little girl or a little boy.

Just like all our designs, you can get the elephant printed on all of our products.  Wouldn’t the stickers be a great compliment to these announcements?  I just had someone order them to put on their place cards and favor bags at a shower.  Great idea!

New babies, whether it be elephants or your own little baby, it’s a sure sign of spring.

There are all kinds of occasions coming up where you could be getting together with the gals for showers; wedding or baby, luncheons for birthdays or upcoming retirements.  Any reason you are celebrating could be introduced to your guests with our orange bow stationery lfl_ann_orangebow1pieces.  The great thing is, it is young and vibrant without being over the top.

Speaking of over the top, because I love that too, look at this fabulous bag to go from spring to summer to fall to winter and all around again.

 I like it because it has sturdy handles, it’s thin and comfortable to carry and fits more than what you need for the day. These two items are sure to put a spring in your step for spring.

Darling Dolls and Bountiful Boys

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

I’m always looking for something funny to give friends to pass the time when they are awaiting the new love of their life.  These paper dolls are sure to get a giggle from the gals at a baby shower and might even help make bedrest a little entertaining.

But once that little bundle of joy arrives, there will be no time for paper dolls.  Reality arrives without warning and all the sudden we wonder ‘what exactly did we DO all day’ without this little being demanding every second of our waking AND sleeping moments.

Make your announcement with style using our maryjanes for a girl or red wagon for a boy.  Perhaps you are lucky enough to get T-W-O or … hold your breath… T-H-R-E-E!  Whatever the case, Letters from Lilly has the announcement and stationery to fit your growing family. Now’s probably not the right time to mention that you’ll need to write thank you notes for all those gifts…

February…. Brrrrrrrrr

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

 
corr_snowman_textJust because I can’t pat together a snowball, roll it through the yard to make three BIG snowballs, plop them on top of one another and add coal for eyes,  a carrot for a nose, stones for a smile and a soft blue scarf, doesn’t mean I don’t know how.  And just because it’s too warm here to make a snowman, doesn’t mean I’m warm.  It was 47 degrees when I woke up this morning.  It’s only 64 degrees now, which is cold for southern California.  So technically, I can’t make a snowman, but I still like to use the snowman design to write notes and remind myself of those snowy days.  I can make a snowman here though, thanks to Ben and Jerry’s.  This should keep you busy for hours. Did you know… the largest snowman was constructed in February 1999 in Maine. Even more interesting though is that it took him until June 10th to melt.  I like that someone is keeping track of these big snowmen.
