My name is Karen, the owner and co-designer of Lilybella Boutique.  My daughter, Allison and I originally created Lilybella in 2007, and I worked with her behind the scenes in the roles of product design and sew contractor.  My passion has always been sewing.  My mother taught me to sew when I was a young girl and I, in turn, taught Allison.  Our mutual passion is what enabled Lilybella to come about.  We have had so much fun designing products that we love, for ourselves, and products for her children, i.e. my precious grandchildren.  (shown above) We have had a never ending source of inspiration from each of them.  I also have two adorable grandsons who are so supportive of me and whom I also love dearly. I have two additional grown children, Melissa and Jay who I am tremendously proud of and who also are so supportive of everything I do.  Of course, my husband, James is my most supportive partner, who backs me up and helps me in everything I do.   I could never have this business without his continued love and support. 

Allison and I have enjoyed working together and it has been a rewarding experience for both of us.  Unfortunately, with three young children, it became more and more difficult for her to continue on in a full time capacity.  Therefore, I have "taken the reins" and continued on, as I cannot bring myself to give up this fun and rewarding business.  Allison continues to be a support to me in many ways, especially in regard to web design and maintenance.  (not my favorite part!) 

I hope that you will find Lilybella products creative and fun, and that you will enjoy purchasing our products for yourself, your children,  grandchildren, and  friends.
