But I am still going to write about it!
I had purchased an item off Ebay last year and the sellers were only a little further up the mountain so I went to collect it.
I rolled up and the first thing I see (as it was outside) is this 1930 Dressing Table. I remarked "how fabulous" and the young couple said, "would you like it"?
Just like that! They were actually getting ready to take it down their drive for the hard rubbish collection as they were throwing it away!!!
I was happy as Larry!!
I stripped off all the veneer and give it a really good sanding back. Managed to scraped off all the stickers that were covering the mirrors (original bevelled glass), and put it into my sewing room so it could get thoroughly dried out.
Its only been sitting in there for a year!!!
I've been hanging my necklaces on a wooden mug tree for years - I think they look good like that and it's quite convenient. But I never had a great way of displaying my collection of bangles until it hit me this morning - what about one of those wooden kitchen roll holders? The one I eventually found had an extra little rod on one side - I'm not sure why - so I have hung some glass and plastic rings on it.

Although this may not be clear,I like this one also from the television programme I was in a few years ago (Housebusters). Interesting shaft of light coming down to my head eh? Whats your opinion? I love mirrors! They reflect love and they reflect light..Dont forget I am able to do one to one readings, e mail readings or telephone readings via paypal if you live a long way from me here in the Midlands of England.
A dressing table is a small table in a bedroom. It has drawers underneath and a mirror on top - La coiffeuse est un meuble apparu sous la Régence (1715-1723) avec la féminisation du mobilier. Il s'agit d'un meuble pratique destiné à la toilette et au rangement des ustensiles afférents.
A shoot I did with Fiona last week, so much fun, lots of clothing and lighting changes! And that bone structure!
Duchess sets for your dressing-table; this one is so sheer it is almost transparent. The embroidery designs were sold by the sheet and tironed onto the table-cloth, then embroidered by the house-wife. I also have some of the embroidery sheets in the sale.

The Kingston Lacy estate, owned by the National Trust, covers several thousand acres of Dorset, not too far from Bournemouth. To date the estate, previously owned by the Bankes family, is the largest single bequest received by the Trust. The gardens of Kingston Lacy House include a Victorian fern garden, and a Japanese tea garden originally built in the Edwardian period and restored in the 1990s.
The estate's final private owner, Ralph Bankes, found it hard to maintain the upkeep of Kingston Lacy House. As he grew older and the house decayed, he shut more of the house's rooms up and lived in a tiny fraction of the house. This is the bathroom attached to the master bedroom, one of the very last rooms of the house to be lived in.
Been scanning over some old pictures recently and came across two pictures I've got of a dancer I met a few years ago. This is a pic of her getting ready. No fancy lighting or anything here, just a bit of reportage.
My Bronica is out of action at the moment and missing working on film, so it's nice to find some old pics done on my favourite camera.

My dressing table at the new house. I'm so very pleased with this mirror. Someone left it downstairs near the trash at our old building. I took it, cleaned it, and love it.

Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.
