Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021
We’ve all made it through the chapter 2020 and we’re fully into a new one (it’s gotta be better…right?!?). We can’t help but look back at the past year and feel so grateful. It was crazy -that’s for sure, but there was also so much good. We have felt so loved and supported by our community and our customers. Thank you does not feel like an adequate response…but THANK YOU
We wanted to share with you a few highlights from 2020….
We finished up one of our first projects done completely through Liliidae. From consultation to install; we helped pull together this amazing mudroom. A lot of function and beauty was added to this space. You can see the before& after’s here.
We hosted TWO markets! Of course our first attempt was cancelled due to Covid -and even though it was discouraging at the time, we had to just adapt to the changes, as did the rest of you! In August, we got to celebrate our 1st Year of being open, and in November we got to ring in the Holiday season with our Christmas Market. They were both such different experiences, but so fun! We absolutely loved being able to support local artisans and have them be a part of our Market experience. People strolled through, visited with each other, brought home locally made goodies, and overall just had a lovely time. We are already planning and prepping to make our 2021 Markets even better!! Our dreams are lofty and we’re pretty excited to see how far we can go.
It’s been such a pleasure working with you, our customers. Some of our favorite times have been when you brought couch cushions, a rug sample, a cabinet door, or other decor from your home, just to make sure everything will fit together. It’s just awesome. That’s exactly what we wanted Liliidae to be able to provide: A local place where you can get a visual feel of how it all works together. A place to bring your inspiration and find the materials that you are looking for. We are honoured to be part of making your home dreams come to life.
2020 felt a bit like a whirlwind, I am sure we all feel similarly one way or another! But for us, it was also a year of getting settled, finding a groove, and really diving in to our business and already expanding on the initial idea of what Liliidae could offer. We have tackled many learning curves and I’m sure there will be many more to come (cringe!). But it’s been such a great experience to see this little business grow from an idea, to a brick-and-mortar store where you can find almost anything you need finishing and decor wise (except blinds…. sorry to all of you who came looking!)
We know the importance of Home… It’s the place we relax and unwind, celebrate and entertain (hopefully again one day), raise our families, and create lasting memories. I think most of us have experienced a shift in how we use and view our homes this year. More than ever it needs to be a place where we can re-charge to face the world. If your home is not allowing you to do that, changes need to be made. Sometimes big, sometimes small. We feel so proud to be able to help you create a home that functions well, looks and feels the way you want it to, and represents you and your family.
