Lily Home: Things To Take Home

Yesterday, during my lunch break, I sent myself on a mission to visit The Milkman's Daughter. I work in the studio so I don't get to see the outside Smoking Lily world that often. Which is probably a good thing because there is so much AWESOME stuff that I now want! Is it too early to start writing to Santa? 172 days... hmm... Nope! Dear Santa I want....

Trunk Style basket, and the yellow wool blanket, and the book on trees...

Sea foam blue hutch... I've had my eye on this piece since it first came in.

Squirrel lamp

Beetle pillow, tea cozies, and eye glass cases... Yep all of them.

Pretty glasses to put milk in for Santa when he comes to drop off all my gifts...

and I want a pony.

Pirate Ships, Bikes and Bears, Oh my!

Freshly sewn, hot off the press!

New duvets!

Pirate Ships for the adventurous,

Raleigh bikes for the nostalgic vintage lover,

And BEARS. Because they're the best.

Goldilocks duvet anyone?

Lily Home: peek into glenda's homewares

Here are a few shots of Lily Homewares in action in my home. Some items are available in our shops now, others were available in the past, and some were Special Orders and Print Yer Owns. Can you tell which are which? I'll date them for hints.

7 year old silk chiffon Bugz curtain

3 year old valise (and 7 year old acetate print from a window display)

4 year old Jellyfish pillow

3 year old Rotary Dial cocktail napkin

6 month old Bison tea towel (being used as an oven mitt)

Just a quick word about tea towels - no matter how pretty they are, they are meant to be used! I have found that many people are adverse to using cute tea towels. They hang as ornaments in the kitchen. But, our big tea towels are made from durable, absorbent cotton that is perfect for drying dishes, wiping hands, and folding up to grab hot items. I would advise you to put your Mom's habits aside and get those lovely tea towels off decorative hooks and out of drawers and use them. Make those mundane chores more fun by using something pretty. Really, it is those little things that can perk up your day!
