A Little Lilac History

Everyday people ask who we are, how we got started, so here's the tale...

A long time ago, in a country far, far away...ok, maybe not THAT long ago or THAT far away...Fern was born in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Her entire life was emersed in creativity. Fashion, painting, decorating, it surrounded her. Landing on the shores of California she and her American husband eventually made there way to the other shore. As a buyer for a major women's chain, Fern perfected her ability to choose must have items that you shouldn't live without!

Fern loves catching rays in Brazil and sipping on Caipirinhas (the Brazilian national drink). When she has the time, she is traveling to places she has never been and dragging her teenage daughter along for the ride!

Beth tried, for a very long time, to be happy making money for other people. Yay, not so much! Owning her own business was always a dream. When she was just five she was convinced she was going to walk the neighborhood dogs and make lots of money, and as teenager she dreamed of being a speech writer and the owner of an NHL team! Eventually she found her niche in sales.

Beth, a self proclaimed sci-fi geek, loves to ski the mountains of Vermont, big roller coasters and hot air balloon rides. She and her husband live on Maryland's eastern shore with their two boys, two dogs and a cat!

A very brief stint working together, a few martinis and a cocktail napkin, and voila, Fern and Beth had the basic concept for Lilac Bijoux.

Now you know.
