Lady Melbourne

Just recently I was sent this DIVINE candle with a hand written note from Susie who imports Neom luxury organic candles into Australia.

If you are into reading Melbourne based blogs you will probably have heard of The Design Files. Lucy’s most recent pursuit is an open house in Fitzroy where everything you see you can buy. Everything!

I thought I might share with you some of the things I have on my various tables around the place at the moment.
