When I was a young girl I would obsess over my mother’s magazine collection. I loved the fashion magazines but I loved the interiors magazines more. I must admit that my all-time favourite magazine was and always will be Australian Vogue Living. I would admire the beautiful homes and clever creative people featured in Vogue Living every month and I would dream {like many young girls} of the possibility one day, of my own appearance in my much-adored magazine.
This month my long withstanding dream has come true and I am beside myself with excitement and pride. I never really thought my work would be good enough to make the VL cut but someone down there thought it was.
I would like to extend a very big thank you to stylist and writer Catherine Shields and photographer Simon Kenny and of course, thank you Vogue Living for saying yes.
Xx
Anna
PS. Today I created the tablescape in the top 3 images {this is part of our new display at Black & Spiro} using the VL cover as inspiration. I hope you like it.
Congratulations Anna! What a lovely surprise to open my copy on Monday afternoon and see your gorgeous house - well done! Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteOh Anna thats fantastic! What a dream come true. You are now part of the " cleaver and creative" people you admired. Well done, take a breath and enjoy it, you deserve it.

ANNA-
ReplyDeleteBravo! This is fantastic.
Competition to get in to design magazines is fierce these days, so it is a triumph.
It's also a triumph because you are in Brisbane--far from the design 'capital' of Sydney (OK, or Melbourne). It's always harder when you are at a distance from editors--and won't run into them at a design cocktail party, a store opening, or at the hot new restaurant.
I can't wait to read your story when it lands in California. You'll be seen around the world.
Happy days, www.thestylesaloniste.com
oh my gosh, congratulations!!! I just did a little blurb last week about your amazing work on my blog..love everything you do! xo
ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised at all. None of us are! The spread is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I'm so proud of you. Enjoy every minute!!
