“Lilypad has two second-hand resources for kids; Lilypad Thrift in South Philly and the CityKids Consignment Sale in Society Hill. Both of these give families options to buy second-hand and sustainable options for their kids. Plus, all the sales help them run their nonprofit play spaces. 🙂 It is an all-around positive experience supporting Lilypad!”

“I had color analysis with Susan and it was such a great experience. Her calming presence was palpable through Zoom. She was well-informed, confident in presenting my analysis, so very kind and answered all my questions. I’m so grateful to know my colors now and this has made it so much easier and less stressful to buy and wear clothes, with the bonus of knowing what makeup colors and jewelry work with my color analysis.”
