Most Lilaberry Customers will recognize a very familiar face when they pop in on Mondays, after all, Mary has accomplished much, she was the visionary and previous owner for 24 years. Mary’s

energy and enthusiasm is an inspiration. Following her “semi-retirement”, Mary spends the rest of her week playing with her seven adorable grandchildren.

Kat is the creative talent behind our eye-catching displays. A dedicated 4th year Fine Arts student at the University of Victoria, feedback is, she is at the top of her class! Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t comment on how stunning the shop looks! Kat is also a talented photographer; it was one of her photos that the creative team at House & Home magazine used in the January 2011 publication. Kat has worked at Lilaberry for 3 years, she is defi nitely a keeper!

Renate is from the Netherlands arriving in Sidney in 2009, she brings that touch of European elegance to Lilaberry. One day while shopping at Lilaberry she mentioned to me that she would love to come and work here if I needed an extra hand... that was a year ago and the rest, they say, is history. With a love and an eye for exquisite things, a passion for people, a professional

approach, Renate will guide you throughout the shop and help you fi nd that something special.

Me...I am approaching my 2nd anniversary as owner of Lilaberry, what can I say, I simply love it! What woman doesn’t love to shop, I get

to do it every day and for all of you. When you pop in for a visit, I want you to feel welcome, indulge your senses both visually and emotionally and get excited and inspired...I would like you to feel that you’ve taken a little holiday from your daily routine. I try to fi nd unique things; I love the whimsical, the silly, the romantic, the practical, the thought-provoking...from high-end to good value... I try to fi nd something just right for you.
