Hi, friends! Please check out my photography page!

At the heart of it all, my goal in life is simple: to spread kindness, cherish connections, and protect and preserve the light around us. With Lightheart Lens, I hope to accomplish each of those things and provide you with images you can treasure for a lifetime. 💖✨

I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and help you see life through a lens of warmth, love, and light. 🌿

Love always,
Hil

MEET OUR BEE: BUZZ

Buzz is the heart of The Bee’s Knees — our cheerful mascot, gentle guardian, and joyful little friend. With big eyes, blushing cheeks, and a whole lot of love in his wings, Buzz reminds us to slow down, spread kindness, and find magic in the tiniest things.

Whether he’s delivering handmade treasures, watching over the pumpkin patch, or sweetening your day with a jar of honey, Buzz is always there with a smile and a reminder to BEE full of heart. 💛

You’ll find him buzzing around our tags, signs, and packaging — and if you listen closely, you might even hear him giggle when you open your gift. ✨

MEET THE OWNER: HILARY

Hi, I’m Hil — the hands and heart behind The Bee’s Knees at Lightheart Hill!

The Bee’s Knees at Lightheart Hill is my little hive of happiness — a growing garden & a handmade collection of macramé angels, embroidered “Beenies,” and festive “Happy Haunts,” crafted to bring a touch of magic, comfort, and delight into the lives of others.

Everything offered is planted, stitched, knotted, or fluffed with love — and inspired by nature, nostalgia, and the gentle joy of being cozy, creative, and kind.

Whether it’s a gift or a giggle, I hope you find something that makes your heart smile. 💛🐝

With love from Buzz and me.

Hello, friends! ☀️

We’ve had to spend some time resting and recovering from health events, but in just a few weeks: we’ll reopen our virtual shop doors and return to crafting and creating! And just in time for FALL…

(Our happy haunts are already peeking out of the attic with excitement. 👀🎃)

We can’t wait! 💛

This year, we dedicated an entire bed to a bunch of blushing blooms - and we’re so glad we did. These mums are seriously special! 🌸🎃

We love the emergence of fall colors in September! The leaves aren’t the only things changing 🍎🍁

This season we grew carrots and we LOVE them! We think they deserve a permanent spot in our raised beds and we’ll be growing them every season. 🥕🧡

Our bell peppers are also GINORMOUS this season!

🚫 ZERO pesticides, herbicides, icky chemicals
✅ Just good (organic) dirt and sunshine 🌞

We think each one of our flowers is unique and beautiful, but this blossom is truly one-of-a-kind! 💖
