Pink and green lives!! Thank you Lilly Pulitzer!!

There are so few mentors we have in our lives, so the passing of one stirs your soul.  Sometimes it is a heartfelt loss that brings you back to childhood memories.

I awoke this morning to an announcement that Lilly Pulitzer passed away during the night.  My first thoughts were of her fabulous use of green and pink.  My childhood memories of women by the summer shore sporting their full Lilly regalia of cotton print dresses and accessories to match dance in my head like an explosion of pixie sticks blowing in the wind.  Lilly produced patterns on fabrics that served up eye candy on the sidewalks of the New England seashore towns that will forever inspire my creative sensibility.   I will forever be inspired by the palette of Lilly Pulitzer.  Thank you, Lilly, for your creative influence on my handbag designs.

Love,
