East Australian Coffee Table Display
To me, local flora and fauna are as important to a home as the indoor space, so I am "freshening up" with a unique coffee table display comprising:
- a striped coral vase of some of my favourite East Australian native flowers, including the iconic red waratah, the strangely brush-shaped orange banksia, the fluffy yellow acacia and a pink gum blossom
- a bevelled and inlaid trinket box handmade from the East Australian hardwoods of silver ash and acacia blackwood, locked with a gold tasselled key and guarded by an Eastern Rosella (an Australian parrot known for its red head with white cheeks, scalloped yellow and black shoulder and back feathers, coloured front, blue wings, and a green and blue tail)
- a stoppered glass bottle filled with tiny seashells and dried sea urchin shells collected from Australia’s famous East Coast beaches
- a decorated copper lantern containing scented melaleuca candles
- a wicker display tray adorned with dried eucalyptus nuts and leaves
- two gilded coffee table books
