I adore the new issue of Adore magazine!

One of the best things by far about this whole blogging caper is meeting lovely fellow bloggers. Judy from Verandah House and I met last year, and she's an absolute sweetheart. I was thrilled to see her, along with fellow blogger (and fellow sweetheart!) Sharnel from My Life-My Loves, featured in the April/May issue of Adore magazine. And what's more, Judy was sweet enough to mention my 'Abstract Ikat' painting in her feature.

you can check out the latest Adore magazine here - it's fabulous as always

'Abstract Ikat'

And did you notice the stunning chinoiserie chair as well? It's one of Judy's gorgeous designs for Verandah House, and available exclusively at her daughter Jess's online store - Jessie Lauren. Definitely on my wish-list (along with every other piece in the range!).

Thanks so much Judy.....lunch is definitely on me next time!

Hot off the press!

Word to the wise - get yourself off to the newsagent quick sticks, and pick up the latest issue of Australian Women's Weekly magazine. Why? Because the absolutely stunning home of our very own Sharnel Dollar is featured in all it's glory, and I tell you, it's TO.DIE.FOR! Race on over to Sharnel's blog, My Life-My Loves, for the low-down, but here are just a few pics to whet your appetite....

 seriously stunning Sharnel!

gorgeous outdoor area, featuring Verandah House furniture too - love it!

Gorgeous, no? So what are you waiting for - pop on over here and check out the full story!
