Lilify + Life

Winter weaves its way in and cocoons us all in coziness. We lean into our rituals that act as restorative remedies to the blanket of this season and its shivery temperatures and heavy skies. 

And, we celebrate cherished customs with great cheer.

During this time of festivity and fete, we wish you warmth and a joyful, gentle winter.

As our annual antidote to the chilly, dark mornings and early evenings, we are so pleased that our beloved seasonal candles are back!!!

Available only in November + December, our signature natural soy wax candles in FROST & FIR as well as SPRUCE & SPICE are hand poured locally by Emmaline Molloy of Valley Botancials.

FROST & FIR offers a deep evergreen entwined with a woodsy, winter warmth.

SPRUCE & SPICE presents a balsamic woodiness complimented with cinnamon and holiday spice.

These very dear seasonal releases are available both in shop + online.

CERAMIC ARTIST SUSAN McKENDRY 

Born and raised in New Zealand, Susan has spent her adult life in the United States, ultimately settling on California’s Central Coast.  When not playing with clay, she is a mother to four adult children, a gardener and a volunteer with foster youth and the Youth Arts Collective.

There is something so refreshing about the rhythm of summer. Long, light days and a warm breeze make our movements soft and easy.

The shop offers a gentle luminosity this time of year as we bask in this pleasant pulse – ever more complimented by the Central Coast’s continual contrast of calming fog and soothing sun.

We wish you a summer that is both lithe and lush.

We are so thrilled to be featured in Suitcase Magazine!

Read "Where to Shop in Monterey" here.

We opened Lilify in 2012. As we prepared to open the shop, we were a bustle with anticipation and adrenaline. In a particular moment of complexity our bookkeeper turned to me and said “Hanni, we’re not playing shop. This is a shop.”

Now in our tenth year, I have learned that a business is a living, breathing, ever evolving entity. I have also learned that as a result of that evolution, an artisan shop has the ability to create community, transport, inspire and offer an oasis.

On behalf of my family, the talented Lilify team and the many independent artists, makers and movers that make up Lilify, we thank you for your continued support and for allowing us to “play shop”.

This time of year welcomes the wind and robust rains. The autumnal sunrises are greeting us with a palette pushing from petal pink, to persimmon, to pomegranate. Our evenings arrive early, and we tuck in under the incandescent stars. Some nights it feels like one might reach up and brush Orion’s bright belt.

As we envelop into the holidays, I wish you a season full of warmth, joy and delight in the beautiful nuances that make up November.
