WELCOME!

Hello, my name is Ava Lilly. Welcome to my blog and my inaugural blog post!

This blog is dedicated to all who love God, beautiful interiors, good food, family and fun.
 I am a native of the South. I 've lived in North Carolina all of my life, and my blog will reflect, among many other things, furnishings and foods that are typically southern.

I have a Etsy shop also named Southern Waterlillies;
https://www.etsy.com/shop/SouthernWaterlillies
I sell vintage home décor and serving pieces. I will frequently blog about pieces in the shop that I find particularly interesting. I welcome post suggestions, positive feedback and constructive criticism.

  I enjoy spending time with my family ( I have twin daughters, who are in college), cooking, eating, traveling and interior decorating!

You will frequently be offered a glimpse into my home via photos of my ever changing home  décor, and the ordinary and not so ordinary exploits of my everyday life. I hope you enjoy all!

These are photos that I took for an upcoming advertisement for my Etsy shop. I'm a big fan of brass and Chinoiserie.
