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.

    Hello,
    I love to be in your draw for a magazine. Could you show a little more about the piece of furniture you got on the leftside of the bed, that looks very interesting.
    Love the turqiose paint you use, been looking for something like that for ages. Slowly getting my pieces together for a new blog to go with rose cottage. P.S. I love your blog and was very happy to see your from Queensland
    Kind regards.

    Hello Sandy

    Wow – a big congratulations!

    I feel that is a result of a lot of effort in = results back.

    A road to success isn't always glamour and wonder but today for you – you have a time to stop, pat yourself on the back and say well done.

    take care and keep on doing what you do so well – I love it.
