The Journey...

So, in a nutshell the past 12 moths have been a rollercoaster ride. Setting up a new brand in itself is a full time job if you add launching a website at the same time. I'm sure you can gather how much there is to juggle. Some would say I'm mad... They're probably right!

In all honesty it has been the most fulfilling exciting time, spent learning things every day, meeting new people, trying various avenues and most importantly being creative. No day is the same and you really never know what's around the corner which is probably why I love it so much. There have been many hard moments and various things in hindsight, I wish i'd done differently but I guess that's the only way you learn.

I have come to realise that in uncertain times such as these it's actually incredibly refreshing to have something positive to talk about and a colourful collection to cheer people up.

The purpose of this blog is to give an insight into what it's really like to start up a business. There are tips that I have found really useful and other things that that haven't worked at all.

Please follow me on this journey of inspiration, creativity and most importantly- telling the world about Lily and Lionel through various different mediums.

Soho Sparks

On a cold Wednesday night I ventured to a little house in Soho to chat about Lily and Lionel’s future and my oh my, tonight it was bright! Don’t you just love those meetings where you virtually can see sparklers in the air (or was that the birthday cake on the table next to me?).

The main topic of discussion being blogs… I was rather excited to discover my factoid of the day which was that the word Blog comes from the 2 words Web Log. You’ve got to love learning something new however big or small.

On another completely separate note, I've designed a lovely new print and I’d quite like to know what you think of it as if the consensus is good I will run it for sure. Please feel free to comment as any feedback is positive.
