Since everyone is always asking whyour store is named Lily Boutique,I thought I’d do a blog post to explain.The store was named after my dog:

Lily is a 7 year old Maltese and an unofficial employee of Lily Boutique.She loves coming to work with us every day, so if youcall the store and hear barking in the background, it’s just her trying to get attention. Lily doesn’t like having her pictures taken, so she needed a little encouragement in order for us to get a few good shots:

As it turns out, Lily’s pretty photogenic!I think she deservessome extra treats for participating in this photo shoot.
