the little black shack on the hill.

i posted some months back about the gorgeous team from country style magazine coming to photograph our little black shack to feature in their magazine.

well.

it hits the stands tomorrow!

i got my subscribed copy last week....but was out at lunch with some girlfriends when a text message came through with a photograph of the cover.

(thanks beth!).

my wee boy, jasper, was gracing the cover with his chook, oprah.


and, i may be a wee bit biased, but i think it is one of the best covers of country style to date.

the black and the pink are a gorgeous, vibrant combination.

and, ain't he cute!?

and oprah!  honestly, what a little star!  She knew to stand so very still.  made for the screen, that chook!

anyway,. here are a couple of sneaky inside shots.




the necklace i was wearing was designed and made by the divine 



here she is wearing it!


and the dress lottie is wearing and the pants that the boys are wearing are all made by my very clever, textile designer friend,


hard to see in the pictures, but all the clothes are made from vintage fabrics.  rafferty's pants are made from australiana tea towels.  there is a kookaburra on the front and a rosella on the back. 

they are totally divine.


(she has just made me a dress for christmas day,..so will show you all that one next week!).

all photographs are by the extraordinarily clever


so!  everyone go out and buy this issue of country style!

Very exciting! My mum rang and left a voice mail message all excited about Alice's brother, hugo being in Country Style! She even showed Alice. Apparently Alice was unimpressed - there's just no pleasing some....;-)

Love your caravan in the frankie shoot and will definitely grab a copy of the Country Style. I was wondering what colour you have painted the exterior? It looks like your house is the same. Is it just plain black or a variation? Thanks!

Hi Jennifer,.. the colour of the caravan is the same as the house.. It's Dulux "Black Fox'. x
