New Additions to LillyPearll on Etsy

Happy Friday everyone!!! It's an exciting day at White Violet Villa , home of LillyPearll creations. My sister and I are taking pictures of our new line of purses.... we have Crushed Grapes, Blue Chocolate, and Cream & Sugar. They are statement bags and will get attention when you carry them. Look for them later today ....

Goodbye LEE!!!

Sun is back out this afternoon at last.... and we have seen the last of Lee. I have a friend named Lee but this guy was no friend. But I was able to get lots of sewing done. Look for a new line of bags coming soon on LillyPearll.

School, Football, and snowballs.....

Just thinking about how school starts down here in Covington LA next week! When we were in school, we didn't go back until after Labor Day. Yesterday we went for snowballs..... coconut cream with condensed milk, sour green apple, banana, and something green that I didn't even want to ask! And if school is starting that can only mean football. Check out our Saints necklace.....

Aunt Bessiee's latest finds....

Great news for our followers! We have some new creations from all the great stuff we found in Aunt Bessiee's stash. There are 2 aprons... and one of them I call a "cat" Santa. You have to see this apron. The face looks like a Santa that could possibly be a cat. It is the cutest thing. Go on over to our shop on etsy and take a look at it. Be prepared to laugh out loud!!

Happy New year .....

As I mentioned earlier, many of our memories and inspiration are from our Grandmother Eunice who never threw anything away. One of the things she "collected" was white cats. If anyone that lived around Stoney Point had a white cat or knew of anyone that had a white cat, she was on to it. It really didn't matter if it was male or female as long as it was white. Grandma Eunice never allowed an animal into her house -- and we lived in the deep south where the summers get blistering hot. The poor white cats had to live outside. Now if you are fair with red hair and freckles or you are a white cat with delicate ears, you will get a serious sunburn. But not to worry. We had a wonderful salve called Aquafor. Whatever the Aquafor didn't remedy, the tasty fare that the white cats ate surely made up for it! Can I tell you that Grandma never bought a can or a bag of cat food in her life. No maam. The pot liquor from the turnip greens and the bacon grease was poured over whatever table scraps were left over at the end of the day. As kids, we had many laughs when we scraped everything into the dish and went out the back door and down the steps to feed the cat. That was such a simple and uncomplicated time....
We are busy creating new things for Valentines Day and Mardi Gras. Check out the store often for our latest treasures.

Welcome......

Welcome to the LillyPearll's creations.... we call them creations because they are made from things that are re-purposed and would have maybe been thrown away. My sister and I have a grandmother who saved every pie tin and bread bag and , yes, I do mean those Bunny or Sunbeam plastic bread bags! Her cupboards were stuffed full of every twist-tie and "oleo" tub she ever bought at Mr. Henneseys store! More about Grandma Eunice later... Anyway, I guess recycling and re-purposing to us are like genes for brown eyes and red hair..which, by the way, she had and so do we!
