Vendor Spotlight- Country Store By GiGi

I have a strong belief in supporting fellow artists, entrepreneurs, anybody who is trying to do something creative especially Moms like myself.

So Lilly Violet's 1st Vendor Spotlight is Country Store By GiGi

This AMAZING lady is my inspiration- seriously, I want be GiGi when I grow up!  Her home decor is out of this world . I felt like a kid in the Wonka factory with the never ending perfectly themed seasonal vintage & antique decor that took decades of dedication . In addition to her plantable flower seed paper, she has some great antiques in her shop as well to check out.




BEST PART IS I will be adding GiGi's  plantable  flower seed paper hearts in my thank you cards for my customer's packages, so if you purchase from Lilly Violet you will get to sample these and if you love them just like I do, head over to her shop to purchase a bundle :)

The best NYC Taxi in time

Being a born & raised New Yorker, I have sentimental feelings for anything OLD NY.  19th Century in NY was simply the best. Taxis are such a big part of New York culture however I never heard of a Victorian era Taxi service so when I stumbled across this photo I was in awe and kind of jealous I wasn't there for this cool ride. It was probably bumpy as heck on the cobblestone streets! I had documented family living in that area in that time so I guess part of me, somewhere in my DNA long ago got to experience riding a Taxi just like this .


The first automobile taxis were powered by 800 -pound electric batteries, about 100 of them trolled the streets in 1899. Red and green paneled taxis were imported to New York from France. The name “taxi” comes from their innovative new “taximeters” that recorded mileage.
