Tiger skins for sale at Christie’s London auction house. February 23rd. See page 53 & 54.
Ripping start to the day. Informative read and aromatic coffee at Joe’s Garage, Arrowtown, New Zealand.
Dedon outdoor furniture is fantastic. It’s light, attractive, well-engineered and loves being outside in the harshest conditions. We have a setting on the terrace in Queenstown, New Zealand which has been through almost a decade of sun, rain and snow (literally). Still looks as if we bought it last week.
I have even drunk champagne sitting in a Dedon chair at the bottom of a swimming pool!

One of my very favorite places in the world. Queenstown. New Zealand. Fabulous one season, better the next. Stay at the best hotel in town while you’re there. Eichardt’s Private Hotel. Virginia Fisher - Interior Designer - has made it superbly comfortable and visually intriguing. Click on the photo to check it out.
One of my favorite pastimes is op shopping. Here is one step up from it called The Mill Markets. http://www.themillmarkets.com.au There are three in regional Victoria. Geelong, Warnambool and Daylesford. Their warehouses are full of individual stall holders junk, gems, clothes, memorabilia and collectibles.
