✿ Welcome to the Journal of Lee & Lillian’s

 Some stories start with a dress. Others start with a memory. Ours begins with both.

A self-portrait from the archives,
from the time & place this journey began

Lee & Lillian’s is a gathering place for pieces that carry stories — soft cotton florals from the 70s, velvet-trimmed collars that once graced a holiday table, handmade dresses stitched with care and second chances. My name is Jen, and this little corner of the internet is where I’ll be sharing the quiet behind-the-scenes of my shop:
☁️ the sourcing days and garden walks
📖 the heirloom memories that inspired the collection
🪡 the stories tucked into every stitched seam

This journal isn’t just a shop update page. It’s where I’ll record the in-between moments — the ones that matter most.

What You’ll Find Here:

✸ Behind-the-scenes of our vintage capsule collections
✸ Styling vignettes and soft outfit ideas
✸ Letters and heirloom stories from the women who inspire this space
✸ Field notes from sourcing days and slow-living rituals
✸ Occasional thoughts on art, memory, and making something beautiful from what’s been left behind

Whether you arrived here following a dress, a story, or a bit of serendipity, I’m so glad you’re here. There’s a cup of tea on, and a secondhand book waiting nearby.

Here’s to slow fashion, memory-keeping, and the quiet joy of rediscovering what once was.

With care,
Jen
Shopkeeper, memory-gatherer, and vintage collector at Lee & Lillian’s
