Introducing Princess Lily the Lamb...

Welcome lovli makers and creators and generally lovli people, today I thought I would share a little something more about me, my name and my history.

Its all in a name: Lily obviously derives from the flower Lily but also means innocent, graceful, beautiful, loyal, smart, and pure. These are atributes that are required when carrying out my right royal adventures, going about my duties in an honourable and respectful way with grace and dignity

Our family history has been traced back so far to 1833, but it is believed to date back as far as the 16th century with some right royal connections. We will keep you posted as developments arrise. We come from a long line of agricultural workers and miners… so it’s really no surprise to me that we have such strong woolly connections. The family moved to the midlands over 40 years ago to find work in the staffordshire area and fell in love with the county.

So heres a picture of me as I am... a "Herman Teddy Toy" and my alter ego preserved timlessly in digital format, you will see the digitised version of myself on all our kit boxes and co-ordinating marketing. You will also hear from me from time to time as I go about my duties and travels and share news and updates with you from around the country and maybe even further afield!

Well I had better dash mummy is calling so I had better be a good little lamb and get back to my duties. Will be sharing some more adventures very soon. Thank you for visiting and come back soon.

Today’s post was brought to you by Lisa Marie Olson on behalf of Princess Lily the Lamb
