Well August the 6th saw my family, friends and fellow word nerds go back to 1947 to celebrate the release of Lily in the Mirror. I have to thank Tim Parish for his wonderful speech and for the use of all his vintage props. Thank you to Elle Lambert for her insights into life with a dementia sufferer. Thank you to my husband, Phil who rocked a trilby and to my children who dressed up to the vintage nines with their victory rolls so high. Thank you to Antiquitea for the amazing morning tea and peace of mind! Thank you to Paperbird Books and Art for Kids for the use of the most perfect space and for throwing in the retro tablecloths. Thanks to my parents for helping me always and for Dad lugging vintage props up and down stairs. Big thank you to Jenelle Morris who arrived at 7am and backcombed some body into our hair – you were a calming presence as we all had to behave! Finally thank you to Fremantle Press for getting Lily’s special internal landscape and love of all things dark and mysterious.Oh and for the fabulous cupcakes. Lily In The Icing!
