  • Sharing a little feature video, that I had lots of fun making, to showcase the exquisite new @aerin collection for @williamssonomaaus @williamssonomahome 💙💚 If you're a lover of blue, green & white, like me, then this collection should be on your wish list! Especially with Mother's Day coming up. It was love at first sight the minute I saw this collection & I don't often go nutso for much tableware these days. Featured is the Ardsley Champagne Bucket, Ardsley Platter, White Confetti Stemless Wine Glasses, Fairfield Palampore Napkins & Mother of Pearl Cheese Spreaders. I should add the champagne bucket also moonlights as a plant pot when not filled with bubbles! #gifted #partner #mywilliamssonoma #aerinxws
  • Sunday scenes from the kitchen garden that keeps on givin'! Even in autumn! Dahlias, roses, Italian parsley (including pickings that have gone to seed which I love putting in little floral arrangements), rosemary, Thai basil, and tarragon. Most of this will go into vases & little jugs and then get dotted around the house. 🌸 #kitchengarden #springvibes #howihaven #everydaycountryliving
  • Good morning weekend ☕️ Scenes from my shoot the other day at the cute Book Barn Cottage @bendooleyestate #southernhighlands #accommodation #bendooleyestate @jennifergilldesign
  • Photographed this little stunner today in the #SouthernHighlands which is actually for sale ( through @randw_bowral ). It’s one of my favourite cottages and some of you may recognise it from my instagram before! @vancehallnsw #interiorphotography #burrawang
  • Please be kind to me Sunday 🙏🏼 It’s been a rough night with an asthmatic child (hence why I’m awake at 5:30am, not by choice) as well as waiting for our roof to be blown off from gale force winds outside 😯🌪 In other news, have you heard about @smpliving & @stylemepretty being shut down at the end of April?! 😧 It’s been one of my favourite sources of inspiration & content for years and a site which has featured my work several times, so it was really disappointing & sad to read all that incredible content will be gone. The GOOD NEWS however is that Style Me Pretty editor, the gorgeous Melissa of @bisoustyle , has launched @thehavenlist which looks set to be the new SMP Living! With Melissa at the helm, I have absolute faith that it’ll fill the void left by SMP Living but also offer inspiring, fresh content. See the tag #howihaven and be sure to check out @thehavenlist ! #roses
  • Looking forward to shooting back at @bendooleyestate next week. Can't help dreaming about this ☝🏼 scenario 🙌🏼 Thinking about all the lucky people who'll be checking into the @bendooleyestate luxury cottages this weekend!! 🥂 #ireallyneedaholiday #luxuryaccommodation #wheretofindme

Kitchen Garden – update

Given summer is technically over, I thought I'd share a bit of an update on our sweet little kitchen garden which we planted at the start of spring 2017. We've been having unseasonably warm weather of late so the garden is showing little signs of READ MORE

A pre-Christmas Girls Dinner

There's few things I love more than having time out with some of my girl friends and it's always around mid December that we have a good catch up before the "silly season" begins. And last year (gosh that still feels weird to say given it's just days READ MORE

Christmas Pudding Ice Cream

If there's one thing that synonymous with Christmas, at least in the food department, it has to be Christmas pudding. Right? But the problem with pudding and being in the Southern Hemisphere, is that more often than not, it's too warm for a steaming READ MORE

Handmade Christmas Napkin Bon Bons

I know what you might be thinking. It's not "Christmas" unless you have a Christmas cracker/bon bon to pop open with your loved ones & friends. I myself really do love the tradition of it, but truly, there's not much going on inside Christmas READ MORE

Peach & Passionfruit Pav

There are few desserts I have mastered as well as a pavlova (if I do say so myself!), and this sweet and tangy pav is one of the tastiest I've ever eaten. Sugary, crisp meringue paired with tart, tangy passionfruit and fresh, juicy peaches. I mean, READ MORE
