A conversation over Afternoon Tea yesterday...

Yesterday friends, Sally Rees and her husband Matt came by to drop some artwork off to me, and I showed them some antique magazines from a farm auction I went to on the weekend. One magazine, a 1906 copy of 'The Australian Hen' poultry keepers magazine had this advertisement which Sally thinks is hilarious....so I thought I'd share it with you too!

I find Afternoon Tea conversations so very stimulating!
I'll write in the next post about the willow patterned enamel teapot I missed out on at auction......

My favourite portrait by Zarhloul

This photo of me was taken towards the end of 2005 during a session with my photographer friend and ex-boyfriend, Abdel Zarhloul, in Paris.
We took a heap of different shots with different tea cosies I'd made and started the Teacosy* Revolution, in visual sense!
I love this almost chaste and devotional image and it still reminds me of all my favourite places and things in Paris...can't wait to go back!

You can see more of Zarhloul's work on www.zarhloul.com

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!
