My Home in A Mag & A Giveaway


Well I teased you all a few months ago when I had the photographer here for the day. I can today reveal that my home is on the front cover of  Australian Country Collections Magazine, which goes on sale today.
 Thankyou to Tahn Scoon for her styling and John Downs for his gorgeous photography. 
Here's a sneak peak of whats inside this fantastic issue. 
September/October Vol 14 No 5








I have a few spare copies to give away so if your a follower and leave a comment on this post I will draw three winners this coming weekend. 





The magazine also features Lyn Gardener an iconic Melbourne Stylist who has the most divine weekender in Daylesford Victoria. 

I hope you love these images as much as I do.
