Family weekend + Found by Francoise.

Happy Sunday you darlings. I have had a busy and joyous weekend. My brother and his girl came to the farm for the weekend; it was the first time we'd both been at home together in a very, very long time.

We drank champagne in the rose garden, I baked a rhubarb and cinnamon tea-cake, we watched vintage James Bond and cooked dumplings; it was so wonderful. 

I also spent much of the weekend taking photographs of my vast treasure collection, soon to be available for sale online and in various pop-up shops under the name Found by Francoise.

I've attached a few shots from my shoots. Most of the items have been purchased in England so there are lots of vintage delights from the motherland.

I hope your weekends were as mellow and sunshine-y. Mwah.

Picasso in Sydney.

The Art Gallery of NSW will today unveil the most significant collection of Picasso pieces ever to visit Australian shores. 150 of the painter's works will be on display.

The masterpieces are on loan from Paris's Musée National Picasso, the largest and most renowned repository of the artist's works in the world.

He was an odd little man wasn't he?

Colours of the Wind - photo love.

Earlier this year I came back home from the US for a holiday. As I'd missed my birthday I decided to have a belated celebration at my parents' property, Georges Reserve, with some of my nearest and dearest. It was so darn special.

That night inspired me to hold an annual Georges Reserve Gathering, each with a unique theme. And so, on Saturday 8 October, not long after my permanent homecoming, I hosted the first one...Colours of the Wind.

There was a welcome cocktail called Tom, drumming, vintage beehives, flowers everywhere, fires, interpretive dancing, tribal names, a locally caught trout and a teepee. And many, many wonderful people.

I posted a sneak peek here recently and wanted to share some more pics...so here you go. I hope you enjoy lovers.
