Tell me a bit about yourself.

I am a mom of two awesome kids, Ashley & Blake and three furry babies- Bo, Khan & Milo. I am addicted to CNN, I love to read, host wine parties, listen to Minnesota Public Radio & ride the Harley. I am a volunteer with the Doberman Rescue Minnesota and donate 30% of all my orders to them.

Cat Hair Clips

Tell me about your shop and what you make.
My shop, lily & bo, has such a variety of items. I make everything from jewelry to hats. I have a new collection that just came out this week- Hats for a Cat. The line features totally cute and unique hats designed with your cat in mind! I am also adding cat toys to the collection.

These are the cat hats Lily and Bo has started making! They are so cute!

What inspires you to make what you make?
I love making items that are affordable, stylish and unique. Knowing that someone out there is where one of my designs makes me overjoyed!

I have gotten to know the owner of Lily and Bo through Facebook and she is a wonderful and talented handmade artist. My daughter owns a pair of hair clips that she loves to wear. They are super cute and very well made. I highly recommended you check out her store, because you will find something you love and must get! After you check it out come back and share one of your favorite items from her shop.
