The year is 1923, and vivacious Lily Darling is working at Winstone’s Flower shop in the Block Arcade, her floral artistry and vast knowledge of flowers is much admired by the ladies of Melbourne.

While attending one of her floral appointments Lily meets Edward, Head Gardener at Ripponlea. Edward is fun to be around and they soon realise they share a profound connection with the botanical realm.

Lily’s beauty and her enthusiasm for freedoms of the era, attracts the attention of more than one suitor; alas not all men are of good intention. Invitations to soirees and bohemian cafes leads her to fascinating encounters with creative and inspirational women, all keen to mentor and protect.

Lily’s journey of self discovery is filled with adventure, romance and unexpected heartbreak. Ultimately, Lily must learn that to find her true calling, she will need to follow both her heart and her head to succeed.

I got the letters for myself and friend who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, for something to look forward to each month. Now a few of us get together and enjoy the letters. It has so far been a great experience.

I am from the junk journal world and when I saw these letters I just had to have them. I read a review and blow me down if it wasn't from a friend. We are both in aged care Lifestyle in different states and had the same idea to read the letters to our residents. Well, they love them as much as I do to the point we run a special high tea plus I make ephemera to go along with the storyline. Once we finish Lily's story we will definitely move to the next. These letters have made many lonely people very happy, even my memory support residents stop their behaviours and listen which is pretty amazing. Thank you, sorry I can't provide photos of the residents.

I have purchased both Doris and Darling Lily for my 95 year old mother. She loves to receive letters and set in the 1920's brings back lots of memories of when she was young. Best gifts I have ever bought her.

My sister Judy sent this precious gift to me and shows how much she considers the person when buying a gift. I love receiving letters in the mail. I love the era these letters are set in and the stories they tell. I love to wander through the Block Arcade when I can. I’ve enjoyed tea in the tearooms. Perfect!

There is something so lovely about receiving my Tea Room Diaries letter in the mail each month. I have started a little ritual where I wait until my day off then make a cup of tea and sit outside in the garden to read my letter. It gives me a few moments of peace and time to breathe which I really treasure. The postcards and other extra surprises in the envelope make the whole experience extra special.

Jayne M.

The letters are very interesting to read and all the added little gifts very nice. It is a lovely and interesting way of telling a story. It is a gift from my sister-in-law which I love because she has given it to me.

Julia R.

I look forward to reading the letters each month. Love them and the little gifts and cards that come along too. It's a wonderful idea, gives me great joy reading her adventures, as a florist. Love how the flowers names are explained as to their meaning. A fantastic idea, thank you. My daughter surprised me with them for my birthday.

Rachel G.

The Lily Darling letters are beautifully written and illustrated. I feel like I am transported back in time to the 1920s and 30s whilst reading them. The Tearoom Diary letters are very uplifting and the little surprises I receive each month are a lovely gesture and well presented.

Receiving an interesting letter the "old fashion" way, makes reading these diary accounts more wholesome and romantic. The correctness and politeness of their life is refreshing.
