Hey! Thanks for stopping by!​

My name is Melanie, also known as Lemonee. I’m originally from Québec City and now live in Northern California. I run my handmade business from my office + garage.
Lemonee on the Hills started to take shape in 2015 as a hobby and became a full time job in 2016! I have combined my passion of the outdoors, my photography and product / industrial design background to handcraft a line of inspiring nature photography accessories that bring the outside to YOU, either it’s at your office, in your home or for your travels!
Because we never have too much of the Great Outdoors.

LEMON-WHAT?​

Let me tell you about the story behind the name...It's all because of my, then new, friend's two-year-old daughter. I was new in the USA, had a strong Quebecois' accent, she was just learning to speak, and she called me Miss Lemonee instead of Melanie. We all thought it was soooo cute. It's probably —what her mama would call— one of her earliest Emma-ism ;) 
That was it! Since that day, I’m known as 'Miss Lemonee.'
And as for the 'on the Hills' part, well, we live on the beautiful Sierra foothills of Northern California.
