Guilty Lillie specialises in re-constructing and re-inventing your most treasured possessions, those you can't bear to part with but just can't figure out what to do with, either. She will take your old jewellery, souvenirs, keepsakes and small bric-a-brac items to create unique, quirky, wearable and timeless pieces.
Every bead, button and geegaw is treated knowing its value, not in monetary terms, but with wonder and a nostalgia for the beautiful, curious and often downright bizarre things of a not yet forgotten era. Most particularly, Guilty Lillie has a delicate respect for the history and emotional investment embedded within the keepsakes that she receives from her clients.
To date, Lillie has 're-treasured' single earrings, dressing gown buttons, tickets stubs, wedding garment fragments, birth certificate fragments, grandmother's engagement rings, first teeth, locks of hair and even fragments of furniture or front door fragments from a beloved house!
