"I wish the whole world look like this" said one of
Lisa Madigan's customer said to her one day. It's exactly how I would have wished too when I went to visit her shop last month. In fact I was ready to move in and didn't want to leave the Southern Highlands. Lisa's shop is in such a perfect setting in Berry and I think if I live there it's where I will definitely hang out.
I think I will make it my mission to just photograph beautifully styled shops like Lisa's. Make sure to visit her
e-store for some beautiful goodies.

Lisa thank you so very much for taking the time the answer few questions… and your time starts now.
When I was a child I wanted to...fly & frolick amongst the clouds. My parents always told me...I can do anything I set my mind to & be exactly who I want to be, both with unconditional love. I wish I had... more time.My happiest moments were... the moments that have filled me with great excitement & a deep calm in equal measure.At home I cook... with love, always.My last meal would be... somewhere spectacular & secluded, surrounded by memories & filled with gratitude, watching the sunset, with a bottle of Cristal & a rustic platter of French chevre & plump ripe fresh figs & maybe topped with a Peter Gilmore guava snow egg!I’m very bad at... being bad at things. I have a tendency to be a bit of a perfectionist so I will diligently carve my knowledge & experience & practice of the things that are important to me, I beleive if your going to do something, whatever that may be, do it with a sense of conviction, awareness & care. Things that we do poorly always allow us an opportunity to improve which can become journeys of great adventure.At the moment I’m reading...F Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender Is The Night. "...she walked on, through kaleidoscopic peonies massed in pink clouds, black & brown tulips & fragile mauve-stemmed roses, transparent like sugar flowers in a confectioner's window-until, as if the scherzo of colour could reach no further intensity, it broke off suddenly in mid-air, & moist steps went down to a level five feet below."At the moment I’m listening to... at this very moment, Miles Davis, the fan whirring above me & the crickets & cicadas outside my window. Sounds like spring time.I’m always being asked... where I find my inspiration for what I do & create, be it my art or curating the store & site or a single photograph & honestly it comes from so many diverse places. Inspiration can be subtle or grand, from my surrounds, experiences, travel, the tiniest perfect moments, nature, a fallen petal, a flower in bloom, an opera, architecture, science, the etherial or from within, it just strikes. I'm a beauty hunter & I love to make things beautiful & create beautiful things.If only I could... travel as much as I want to.Friends say I am... most likely obsessed with white & effervescent like a good glass of champagne.My most treasured posession is... my freedom & my faculties. At the moment I would also have to add in my beautiful Carrier Freres Industrie candle, divine! If I wasn’t me I’d like to be... a quantum physicist, a dancer or a musician, a serious mountain climber or a curator for the Guggemheim. Adventure, dedication & zeal is an attractive mix.
