Well, it goes like this....
Yesterday I posted an image in my 'Muted Coastal Palette' post which unbeknown to me at the time belongs to Nanette over at Rummage blog. I found the image on a tumblr site and didn't have the correct source on the image back to Nanette. Nanette actually left me a lovely note in my comments section of that post letting me know that it was her hallway. I have since fixed this up and all is fine however, I think in this mishap I have found a blog I am very much going to enjoy following.
After obsessively going back through Nanette's archives last night I must say I am very impressed. Her photos of her home, flowers, fruit, children, vignettes are all so very inspiring and in a way I feel they very much represent true Australian style. I was only thinking about Australian style yesterday and then to fall upon Nanette's blog last night was almost serendipitous.

I was only thinking about Australian style yesterday and then to fall upon Nanette's blog last night was almost serendipitous.
Her images make me feel at home. I feel like I have seen them before. I look at her flowers and I think they look just like the bush natives my mother used to arrange at our family holiday house. I even look at that last image and it reminds me of my grandmother's house. Is this the same for any of my Australian readers? Do these images of Nanette's evoke a sense of Australian style?
I found it very hard to select only a few of Nanette's beautiful images to share here in this post so I have gone a bit wild and posted my favourites from her blog and her flickr.
I asked Nanette to share a little bit about herself and this is what she had to say....
"I am a crafter and keen amateur stylist and photographer living in our nation's capital with an odd frenchman, two Highly Excitable young daughters and an ADD whippet called Kipper. We like to live a slow life with an emphasis on creativity. I'm currently designing a small range of homewares and children's clothes between reading my youngest 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus' twenty times a day and wrestling Kipper for my favourite boots."
I hope you enjoy Nanette's photos as much as I did.

Her style and overall self is just fabulous! I love how she described her family...and better how she detailed her day! :)

The drawing of the woman above is made me smile and enjoy the artist's work ;).
i love the colors... and the shot of of the pomegranite was so amazing ... i just love them!
Gosh, Anna. That's such a lovely post and I really can't tell you how thrilled I am that you like the photos and how we live our lives. I've never thought about my style as being 'Australian' but when I come to think about it I guess you are right. I certainly have a soft spot for natives!
Thanks so much.
