Lilydel: Paper, Pencils, Possibilities – A Store with Heart and History

At Lilydel, every product, every collection, and every detail has a story. Our name itself is a tribute to family, combining the names of my grandmothers, Lillie and Della, to create a store that celebrates creativity, nostalgia, and the joy of discovery. Inspired by the magic of Scholastic book fairs, Lilydel was built to bring that same sense of excitement to stationery lovers of all ages. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift, unique school supplies, or a fun treat for yourself, we've got something special waiting for you.

The Pencil Cart – A Young Entrepreneur’s Vision

One of our most exciting features is The Pencil Cart, run by my son, Drew. Stocked with pencils, pens, markers, erasers, sharpeners, and novelty gifts, The Pencil Cart brings fun and function to school and office supplies. Drew’s love for business doesn’t stop there—he’s also the creative force behind two of our special collections: Drew’s News and Dash by Drew.

Meet Drew – A Young Creator on the Rise

Drew has been an aspiring entrepreneur since 2020, when, at just 10 years old, he started Drew’s News, a video series about places of historical significance and destinations he’s visited. Now at 14, he’s turning those videos into children’s e-books available on Amazon, which I have the honor of co-authoring with him. But that’s not all—Drew also runs Dash by Drew, a local package delivery service, showing that his entrepreneurial spirit knows no bounds. He’s even dabbled a bit in acting, proving that creativity runs deep in our family!

Ivan the Terrible – From Naughty to Nice

Lilydel is also home to another beloved character—our cat Ivan, the inspiration behind my children’s e-book, Ivan the Terrible. Once a mischievous troublemaker, Ivan has transformed into a (mostly) lovable companion. His own line of products at Lilydel is a fun tribute to his legendary antics, perfect for cat lovers and those who appreciate a good redemption story.

Exciting New Collections – Blooms & More!

We’re always adding new and exciting products to Lilydel! Our latest collection, Blooms, is perfect for spring, featuring floral-inspired stationery and gifts that bring a touch of nature’s beauty to your desk. And that’s just the beginning—keep an eye out for more unique collections and fresh products coming soon!

At Lilydel, we believe in the power of paper, pencils, and possibilities. Whether you're shopping for yourself, a friend, or a student heading back to school, we invite you to explore our carefully curated collections and find something that sparks joy. Thank you for being part of the Lilydel story!
