When local real estate agent Sarah Nutley returned from a family dinner late one evening she saw a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for her on her doorstep.
“I thought I had a secret admirer!” said Sarah.
“But when I ran upstairs to put the light on so I could read the card – I saw it was addressed to someone called Helen!
“The card was so sweet, and the flowers were so beautiful, I didn’t think twice - I knew I had to try and find the real owner.”
Sarah jumped online and went straight to popular community site – Whitsundays Chat – where she posted pictures of the flowers and asked: who is Helen?
Within 45 minutes the community had answered, and it turned out that Helen was Sarah’s neighbour.
The pair arranged to meet at the end of their driveways and within a few minutes, the exchange was complete.
“She was a lovely lady and really appreciative,” said Sarah.
But this was not the end of the story.
When Sarah returned home the following evening, she was surprised to find another bunch of flowers waiting for her at the door.
“I thought – here we go again!” said Sarah.
“But then I looked at the label and could see that this time they were meant for me – it was from the florist! They had dropped off a little bunch to say thank you for taking the time to ensure the flowers from the day before had gone to the rightful owner.”
The card read – “Thank you for helping to find Helen” – and was sent by local florist, Espresso and Bloom.
Flowers for ‘Helen’ got the community talking last week
