If I were to describe the perfect summer day, the weather would be 72 & Sunny!  My natural internal heat index seems to be a little warmer than most, so when the thermometer rises above 75° - I am not a happy camper!

The Cherry Loft Welcomes Lily Bee Design

Meet Kristen Young Of Lily Bee Design This Friday At ACOT!

Kristen Young

Founder and Designer Kristen Young had dreamed of owning her own paper company when she first began working at her LSS back in 1995.

Kristen wanted her company name to have meaning and instantly thought of her Great Grandmother Lillie Berrett who loved oil painting. Lily Bee Design debuted in February 2009.

Besides wanting to own her own company she wanted to design. Without any graphic design experience she jumped in feet first in the Summer of 2009 and hasn’t looked back. Still with much to learn, she is thrilled to be designing her own lines Vintage Poppy, Audrey and the two newest lines Hello Sunshine and Lovely.

Kristen is so grateful for the opportunity of owning Lily Bee and is excited to see the growth of her company during 2010. It has also allowed her many friendships along the way in store owners, designers and consumers throughout the world.

Besides being an entrepreneur and designer she is first and foremost a mother to Noah (4) and Madden (2) who definitely keep her on her toes. She is grateful for her supportive husband Carson who thinks it’s “awesome” she is pursuing her dream.

Kristen will be chatting LIVE in The Cherry Loft - Friday, April 23rd at 9pm EST; 6pm PST!
