pretty woman, vintage

What a treasure! One could curl up with THE GILDED LILY and get lost in its marvelous tapestry of fanciful stories, recipes, poetry, and stitchery tips for hours!

The Tea Shop Mystery Series

LILY! She's wonderful, thought provoking, imaginative, beautiful, well written, well done! Thank you to the talented ladies who brought this revelation, this publication, this state of mind to my doorstep.
