Best Customer - Winner!

We sponsored a little contest here recently at LILL HQ and asked our wonderful LILL on Location Reps to nominate their customer whom they thought was one of the best LILL on Location customers out there. We are pleased to announce that Charity E., from Cleveland, OH was chosen as the winner!

Charity was nominated by Cara P., one of our two Cleveland Reps. Cara said Charity really stood out in her mind because she was such a creative hostess. She is unique and fun and so her LILL parties are, too. She makes her parties creative events and her enthusiasm carries over to her guests. Charity wears her LILL bags everywhere and is always happy to spread the word about LILL to new people. Check out the pictures of Charity’s most recent party which featured purse-shaped cakes and The Devil Wears Prada being shown in the background. What fun!

To get to know Charity a bit better we asked her a few LILL questions...

(Charity pictured below on the left)

1. What is your favorite LILL bag style? ERINN

2. How did you discover LILL Bags? My younger sister had one, she lives in Washington DC, had gone to a party. I looked “lill” up online and the following month hosted my own purse soiree!

3. What attracted you to LILL and hosting a LILL party? The fabrics were stylish, the styles clean and simple. It was a creative event, not like other home parties. Unique results.

4. What are two unusual items likely to be found on your purse?
Produce. I always seem to have a banana or mini-carrots. And tickets, I keep all of my concert/show/sporting event tickets in my purse for awhile. I pull them out and reminisce, it makes me happy!

Congratulations to you, Charity! It’s customers like you that make working with LILL so much fun!

Secret Santa – a CANDY full of Candy! Easy on the pocket book, plus who doesn’t love candy?

My Mom – CAROLINA wallet. My mom is very organized and this is the perfect gift for her.

Grandma - JOEY photo album filled with pictures of our past family holidays together. Sentimental and sweet, Grandma’s love that stuff!

My girlfriend – LIZ Bag. Perfect for Girl’s Night Out events plus doubles as a wallet.

Sister-in-law – She has everything so I’m going with a LILL gift certificate to LILL so we can design a bag together. This will give us some much needed ‘get to know you time’ as well!

Hey guys! Need an idea for your girlfriend or wife? Get one of LILL’s accessories such as AMY, SAMANTHA or LESLIE and put a piece of jewelry in it. The perfect packaging for the perfect gift!

I've Decided on My DONNA!

Thanks so much to everyone who voted on my three combinations to help me decide which DONNA I should choose for my gym bag. DONNA #1 was the clear winner with 65% of your votes! You have all been so helpful, especially those that sent me alternate combinations. So, I have made my decision with your help! I have decided to go with one of the combinations suggested to me instead!

I went with one of Amity’s combinations:

I particularly like this one because of all the different textures and patterns. It’s funky and fun, plus has my favorite color combination of brown and pink. It is similar to the winning combination voted on by you, with some added spunk!

All the combinations suggested were so fun and unique it was a hard decision.

I am impressed with the creative talent my “LILL Girls” have out there and am looking forward to creating with you all once again. Perhaps a bag for the holidays!

Check back with me shortly, you never know what’s going to pop up on my blog!
