For this week’s Pretty Ordinary Friday #50, we’re documenting snapshots of our week. While our pictures may not be the prettiest or the most interesting, we enjoyed each instance and want to remember them! These are the behind-the-scenes, in-between moments – the small peeks that would otherwise be forgotten. Join us as we use this series to scrapbook the unedited, memorable happenings at Lily & Val and what is inspiring our team!
The team says:
1. “Since we were already in the area, Mak and I went to Hershey, PA on Saturday! It was the 6 year anniversary of our engagement. What better way to celebrate than with chocolate, right?! I LOVED this quote from Milton Hershey and wanted to remember it.” –Valerie
2. “As part of our National Stationery Show prep, we decided to do a mini holiday photo shoot for the 2017 collection! We will be using these photos in our Wholesale catalog. This is just a peek of the dark background and pretty holiday greenery.” –Valerie
3. “The prettiest shade of pink.” -Valerie
4. “We are in full-on National Stationery Show prep mode this week. Things have been a bit crazy to say the least with lots of meetings and brainstorming (& coffee) in the office.” -Valerie
5. “It was surreal to see Mak and me on the front page of the business section of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this week! We went to Starbucks and grabbed a bunch of copies. We’re honored to have this article about Lily & Val!” -Valerie
6. “Last week, I had the honor of being a judge at my Alma Mater, Messiah College’s, 2017 Impact Venture Challenge. 6 teams of student entrepreneurs competed for ten thousand dollars in prizes to start their ventures! I loved hearing the student’s passions and the creative ways they planned to use their businesses for a greater good. So inspiring.” -Valerie
7. “Beautiful Pittsburgh Sunset” -Alivia
8. “The studio in Pittsburgh where Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was filmed!” -Alivia
