Australian Modern is well and truly launched.
What a fun night and many thanks to those who came along. Chris and Susan certainly know how to make their guests feel welcomed and are very generous in opening up their spectacular mid-century home to new people. Everyone also went home with a copy of Australian Modern which is now available
HERE.
And I was so pleased to finally meet a few Brisbane blogger friends who came out of the woodwork to attend. It was like I already knew you guys...I'd like to send a shout-out to the handsome Ross and Mark from
Pantone801 ,
EL from
Home and made daily who is just lovely and the gorgeous Nat Duncan from
Precinkt. It was great to have a good chat and finally put a face to the name.
I am such a bad blogger and took no photos of the evening!! So many people went to great effort with their retro op-shop clothes too. My flammable frock was like wearing an inbuilt sauna. I swear I shed a kilo from wearing that thing...which is why I will be wearing it all the time now.
Chris kindly sent to me a few snaps of the night, so have a squizz here...

You foxy thing in that blue paisley number! Pineapple jugs - I never knew they existed now they're on my 'must own' list.

That actually looked like fun, Bris. Your caption to the top photo is worthy of top prize too.
Looked awesome, Anita. Sorry I missed all the fun but I will certainly be purchasing a copy of the mag.
Nice jugs! And congrats to all on the new mag - I will check it out. A x
I'm still laughing at the jugs.

How did our mothers/grandmothers survive wearing hot polyester?

Really great to meet in the flesh Anita!! It was a super night, so glad I came.
You totally rocked that paisley frock too by the way.. xx
Those pineapple jugs are fabulous. And your dress is too!!
I had a blast at this house party! I love being in a room filled with inspiring people and fun-lovers. Thanks for the invite Chris and Anita!
Looks like it was a brillig night. And congratulations - that's a huge thing to pull off!
There seems to be quite a coterie of bloggers in Brissy. I don't think there is in Sydnoi. Of if there is, I haven't stumbled across it (the more likely option).
