Well, as I had mentioned the other day,our holiday to Daylesford was fabulous!! The highlight for me however?... I met DAVID BROMLEY!! Who is David Bromley some may ask?...He is an amazing Australian artist, whose work I have admired for many, MANY years..
I believe he has two very distinctive styles. One is creating images of children, the likes of which have jumped straight out of the pages of vintage story books and the other style, his sensuous,larger than life, waist up nudes...I LOVE both! I one day aspire to have a David Bromley painting in my home but at this stage I don't think I will ever be able to afford one! ...To be honest though I didn't even realise he had a studio at Daylesford, so you can imagine my excitement when we discovered it!!
At the time of our visit his studio,"A Day on Earth" was in shambles { they were currently rearranging}, needless to say though I did not care. I was in absolute awe of his collection of works {paintings and sculptures} and vintage paraphernalia.
I must say we felt like we were treated like royalty whilst we were there and he even let us into his private space to have a look! It was fantastic! I was like a starstruck teen and I know Tony was feeding off my excitement also...:)
Just above the blue painting on the bus you can see a shadow inside..That's David!! {
hehe}
*sigh*...I could go on and on but I don't like to bore you with too much of my personal ramblings... If however you would like to know and see more of David's work, as well as take a glimpse into his INCREDIBLE Chapel street studio, I stumbled across an interview with David
here.....In the meantime I'll just go back to manifesting a David
Bromley to hang upon my walls.....
{ PS.} and thank you to Tim Clarkson for being so lovely...you guys made my holiday :)

I was very excited on return home from my holiday to see that Nest was featured on the Finders Keepers blog! If you would like to have a look you can do so here... Thank you so much Frankie for such an amazing opportunity...x {doin' a little happy dance! lol}
As I sit here watching the afternoon slipping away, the last rays of sun casting long shadows on the road outside, I couldn't help but post these beautiful images...There is nothing like sitting back, closing your eyes and feeling the sun shining on your face....

I know there are many out there {myself included!} that are absolutely besotted with the Australian series "OFFSPRING". The lovable character of Nina Proudman {played by the beautiful Asher Keddie} is one that I can truly relate to! As I sit here asking and answering questions in my own head {!}, I'm sure that everybody may see a little of Nina in themselves at times? One thing I do know for certain is Nina is inspiring and influencing women all over with her beautiful bohemian style...
I love that Nina does the scarf thingy! I LOVE scarfs! I have many! For that reason you will always find a beautiful scarf at Nest. Another of Nina's accessories that is creating quite a stir is her absolutely GORGEOUS "Nancy Bird" bag. "Nancy Bird" is another brand that you will always find at Nest! I DID have it in store however it was quickly snapped up. If you are lusting after Nina's bag , please let me know as I may just be able to organise it..... :)

So...., if you haven't met Nina you must take a peek at "Offspring". She really is lovely..and I must say there is some rather fine looking male talent on the show at the moment also! However, I do miss Doctor Chris......and I'm sure Nina does too...*sigh*
