For the Pretty Ordinary series, we’re documenting snapshots of our week that may not be the prettiest or the most interesting, but 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!
1. “Mak and I had such a fun time at Color Me Mine, we decided to take the L&V team there for a relaxing, creative afternoon of painting pottery! Everyone did such a good job. I can’t wait to see what they look like when they’re fired!” –Valerie
2. “I was over the moon to see that The Complete Book of Chalk Lettering made it to the #1 Best-Seller spot again on Amazon! Ahhhh! Reading each review makes my heart so happy.” –Valerie
3. “My mom and I went to The Container Store this week and it was my first time there! I’m not a very organized person, but this store made me want to be! I also fell in love with these beautiful canning jars and wanted them in every size.” -Valerie
4. “My go-to healthy breakfast lately that’s portable & perfect for taking to the office. Layer chia pudding with almonds, flax seeds, blueberries, and raspberries. Top with a drizzle of honey. To make the chia pudding: add 1/4 cup chia seeds + 1 cup of almond milk. Let sit overnight.” -Valerie
5. “I need this chair in my life!” -Emily
6. “Had an awesome time at the new Whole Foods in the South Hills of Pittsburgh talking about the Keepsake Kitchen Diary!!” -Maureen
7. “Mosby is always showing her best side for the camera.” -Julie
8. “Before the snow dump at the end of the week, my daughter and I took advantage of the 60 degree weather and worked off some energy outside. My daughter was excited to see the horses on the farm near our house. She missed them the past few cold months!” -Maureen
9. “Had the best time painting pottery as a team! It’s great to love the people your work with! ” -Emily
