About Beautiful Lilly

Lily was my daughter, I was nearly 5 months pregnant when I had my first scan. During that scan, they told us that our precious baby would probably not survive birth or will die very soon after.

She had anencephaly, a neuro tube defect that results in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp that occurs during embryonic development. I had to give birth to my baby, she was fully developed. She had a perfect body, delicate hands and feet but her face and skull were not there, I never got to see her beautiful face.

When my second daughter Sofia was old enough, I told her about her sister and we decided that she needed her baby sister to have an identity, a name and a face hence, Beautiful Lily was born.

The ‘Beautiful Lily’ image was created by our very good friend and artist Elaine Davenport, for the first time my baby had a face. I cannot express with words the feeling, finally I could see my baby’s face.

This site is dedicated to Lily and to all those precious babies that never had the chance to come to this world and live their lives. Everyone who buys from this site will be supporting unborn babies and charities that strive to improve the lives of children in our region.

This site is also to support all those people living in our region that work very hard to create beautiful things, made with great love and dedication.

Love Eli
