Leapin’ Lilies began in 2005. It was my baby, my creative outlet. I started with kid’s clothing, but transitioned to jewelry. I created a line of necklaces I called the Blossom necklaces. They were my favorite pieces to create.
I struggled with building a business for a while until I realized that my timing was off. I had things to learn, a foundation to set with my family and skills to build. So I took a break, keeping my domain names and the dream tucked in my heart.
Right before I took the break that I felt God was leading me to, I made a pin.
It’s a bit rough, but it planted the seed. When I felt the time was right to start Leapin’ Lilies back up, I started playing around with my beads trying to figure out how to make this concept a more, ahem, attractive item.
And then, the Leapin’ Lilies Blossom pin was born.
And that brings us to now. Leapin’ Lilies is re-launching today! To celebrate the grand opening and my birthday, which is this weekend, there is a coupon code on the Leapin’ Lilies Facebook page to save you 29% in our Etsy shop!
And now…
