The big idea
We're saving up for a bus.
A real one. Someday it will roll up to craft shows and community events with handmade things on board, and a family on the front seat.
Why a bus?
Craft shows and community events are where handmade things meet the people who love them. A bus lets us bring the whole shop along, and honestly, it is a lot more fun to arrive in one.
Where things stand
Right now Lily Bus is an online shop, and the shop is how we are building toward the bus. Every order gets us a little closer. When there is news, you will hear it here first.
The route we are hoping for
- Stop 1: the online shopYou are here. Christmas trees, custom orders and more on the way.
- Stop 2: craft shows and marketsTables, tents and plenty of friendly chats with fellow makers.
- Stop 3: the busOur shop on wheels, rolling up to community events near you.
How you can help
- Pick up something you love from the shop.
- Tell a friend, a neighbour or your whole group chat.
- Run an event? Invite the bus.
- Got a great name for the bus? Send it our way.
Lily Bus is a business, not a charity. We make and sell things we are proud of, and the bus is where the profits are headed. If you would like to add a little extra, it is a gift to our family business, and we are so grateful.
Would you like to support the bus?
Every little bit gets us closer to a bus that takes handmade things to craft shows and community events. Choose an amount and give it now, or add it to an order from the shop, where it also counts towards free shipping.
Ordering opens soon, so giving is not available yet.
Thank you! That means a lot to our family.
This is a gift to our family business to help fund the bus. It is not a charitable donation, so we cannot issue a tax receipt. We can, however, say thank you.
