So what is this home boutique all about?

I know it sounds a little crazy to have a clothing boutique in my home.  If I were told about someone's in home boutique, I probably wouldn't think twice about it.  So I'm sure, some of you are thinking, "What?" and Why?".  Here is the "Why" first.

In my life pre-mom, I used to work at Nordstrom.  While working there I realized that my dream job would be to be a buyer for them.  I have also been born into a family full of entrepreneurs, so I have always wanted to own my own business.  Fast forward 15 years, a husband and four kids later, I still had the same dreams.  I had put my dreams on hold so I could stay at home with my children.  When I realized I could do both, follow my dreams and still be at home with my kids, it was life changing!

Now to the "What?".  I have a room at my home that was used for a toy room.  Well my kids are more play-outside-kids than toy kids.  So I sifted through the toys and transferred the ones that passed my approval into my kids rooms.  Their rooms are jam packed but I have a cute store now! :) On September 9, 2011, I turned that toy room into The Hidden Lily.  I have really cute, affordable clothes and adorable, unique accessories that I sell.  My goal is to expand into a traditional storefront in the next two years but right now, I still want to be able to ride scooters and play games with my kids... at home.

I have set up some open hours where you can just drop in as you would a traditional store and if those times don't work for you, call, email or text me to set up a time that will work for you.  I have 3 kids playing sports and as the seasons change, so does my kids sports schedules.  So, you can see my current store hours on here or Facebook.  I will be updating both frequently.  As I get new items in, have sales, and do mark downs, I will update on here and Facebook.  So check back often! 


Here are some pictures of my dream come true!
