Styling is a reflection of our personality – our tastes, our power

of observation, our own cultural upbringing and our talent for

originality. Creativity is a fundamental human compulsion to

invent or to compose.

Take time each week to create your own ideas, however humble

you may think they are. Look closely at the details in everything

and notice the colours, the shapes and the deep inner feelings

you have when you are attracted to something.

Creative expression comes from the many objects we have

around us in our lives, a bowl of flowers, a favourite teapot on a

lovely table, a painting or a garden on a misty day.

Creativity is inspired by the wonders of our universe.

When you are in the right state of heart and soul, just like magic

you can tap into the endless flow of universal creative energy and

resources and inspiration comes straight to you. - Coty Farquhar

Dearest Readers,

Do you feel sometimes that you have just walked through an energy of something wonderful? Maybe when you enter a home of a friend or along a pathway that someone has just walked, have you somehow just gone through their thoughts? It’s something very subtle that attracts your attention. Nearly all of the stories that I have in this issue have come from this subtle energy, I was drawn in some way to the homes and the people in these stories, I was lead to a page on the internet that talked to me in subtle whisper, as if to say, look at me!. Do we all see the same thing as everyone else? Somethings just stand out in our day. I call this the ‘shiny things of life’, I often ask when interviewing someone, what shines bright in your day? Often their reply might be, a smile from a stranger, something special that someone did for them and of course, we are only human, something that we find attractive, something that we want to own or at least aspire to. This issue of Styling has a number of themes running through it. Firstly it’s Mother’s day , it is important to think of our own Mother on this special day, but, for me I also think of Mother Earth, she gives all of us the most nourishment of all. Most of the pages in this issue all link to Mother Earth, actually I can’t think of one single thing that doesn’t link to Mother Earth. I have designed and themed this issue around the colour gold. We are celebrating Autumn right now here in Australia and it has so much influence on my thoughts and my daily work. Rich golden colours are showing off right now, especially here in the Southern Highlands. We love the changing colours of the seasons and the golden colours of our fruit. In this issue we honour fruit and the beautiful little creatures that love fruit too, bugs, beetles and butterflies. I have gathered a wonderful collection of botanical prints and paintings along with some of my favourite still life settings. Why are we so naturally drawn to fruit? Why do artists paint fruit? The mix of colours, the shapes and the bowls that we use all tell a story. I can tell a lot about a person and their bowl of fruit, I know that sound ridiculous, but it’s true. Do you buy fruit to eat or to use to decorate, I do both! I will be truthful! Sometimes I buy a box of seasonal pears, apples or pineapples just because they look so good and I find it really frustrating when someone eats my decoration. The nice thing about fruit is that we get to bring a little bit of our earth to the inside of our homes. I hope this issue brings joy to you. Thank you for being here right now. May we all live each day with an open heart that feels and sees the rich beauty around us.

favorite things together.. Inspired by local Southern Highland’s mother,

Kathy McDougall who commissioned Coty Farquhar to photograph her daughters when

they were young. Brianna and Caitlin share with us this month their thoughts about their

mother. We wished we could have asked everyone to write a message, but we know their words express a similar feeling that we all have

about our own mothers.

“Growing up, I have always been aware of how incredibly fortunate I a m t o h a v e t w o amazing parents and a beautiful sister. However for me, it was not until I moved out of home that I realised how truly special my parents are. In the spirit of Mother’s Day, I think it is an appropr iate t ime to reflect on my amazing Mum! My Mum has t a u g h t m e h o w t o unconditionally love the people that surround you, t o t r e a s u r e e v e r y moment with family and friends, and to look for the positives in every situation, because life is short.” - Bri

“My Mum is the best ‘listener’ that I’ve ever met. She enthusiastically listens to everything I tell her. She has taught me to believe in myself, to ‘treat those how you would like to be treated’ and that everyone has a valued opinion. My Mum has taught me more than I could ever be educated about at High School or University - she has taught me about what and who really matters. To the most amazing Mum - thank you for everything!” - Bri

“Her smile warms my heart while her cuddles are tight but tender and have a way of expressing t h o u s a n d s o f unspoken words that make me feel safe a n d h a p p y. H e r bountiful creativity a n d c h i l d l i k e inquisition show me that you don’t have to let go of your youth as you grow wise.” - Caity

“No s tone shou ld be l e f t unturned in this life and no dark c o r n e r s h o u l d e v e r g o unexplored. She has taught me that if you have a gift you should share it with humility. Yet if someone else should be so talented you should revel in his or her joy. I know these things because I have grown up seeing her flourish with dignity in every situation around her.She has done nothing that could not have made her beloved Mum as proud as she has made me. I hope that, I too, can do the same for her. Her a c t i o n s d e l i b e r a t e o r subconscious show that love is pure, selfless and endless. It is for these reasons that I know that she does and will always love me around the moon and back one million times, as I do her.” - Caity

SlavicaZivkovicA Sense of Other

Artist Slavica Zivkovic has been a p a r t o f my d a u g h t e r Rebecca’s life for many years as her art teacher. Her gentle way, her presence and the clear energy that surrounds her and her home is angelic and serene. I have be touched by both her work and her awareness of all the things in this world that we just can’t explain. Slavica shares her life, her home and her studio with Styling Magazine. She writes about her mother, her travels and where her inspiration comes from. A recent ‘sell out’ exhibition ‘ A Sense of Other’ was held at the Sturt Gallery in the Southern Highlands and we wait with an excited heart for her next one, only God knows at this stage when it will be.

“Slavica treasures her memories,

her ideas, her most meaningful

possessions, her travels and those

that touch her life in some way.

This sense of care for everything

that she has shapes her world and

her creative self, as she is true to

herself and most importantly her

heart. Her home and studio is her

sanctuary where all that inspires

and connects to her has it’s place

and role in the creative life she

lives. Learning from Slavica from a

young age through to my teenage

hood, there is one thing that I will

always remember. She encouraged

me and I’m sure everyone else to

follow the natural flow of our

heart, hand and imagination when

it came to drawing what we saw in

front of us. Be it from a clipping,

book or from nature, never to copy,

because an original is always worth

more than a copy. Never to see

with our eyes, but to see with our

heart. Don’t let your mind, ego or

others get in the way of your own

unique artistic style. Slavica is a

visionary and an inspiration in my

life.” - Rebecca Farquhar

Travel and the

m a p p i n g o f j o u r n e y s h a v e a l w a y s b e e n

important to me. They are gestures

t o w a r d s broaden ing my view of the world

and are also a deep mirroring of my

o w n j o u r n e y towards them. I am informed of

my sense of self and that of the

o t h e r s I m e e t along the way.

Over the many years and distant lands I retain a

continual lingering of thoughts and reflections from wonderful encounters that have come my way. The

external journey outwardly mirrors in the unison a strengthening of journey; inwardly the two are never separated.

From these meetings and observations a dialogue of openness and awareness emerges. Beyond borders of

immediate location and identity,

In Silence - All I Am Dobell entry

S l a v i c a Z i v k o v i c

a sense of other enters. A personal view that

we claim as our own is asked to be altered.The images in this exhibition are small vignettes and whispers that have emerged

from many meetings with self and others. Sometimes these come as great gifts and other

times like small tremors that shake my own identity and place in the world.A trip to Ethiopia a few years ago heightened

all of this for me. This ancient culture created a well of meetings that left a lasting effect.

Words of resilience, compassion and faith greeted me and beyond the many difficulties that surrounded its people, hope remarkably

shone clearer.The works in this exhibition are in part a

conversation, simple words and emotions, thoughts and still moments that try to grasp the simplicity of a meeting and the wonder of

exchange. These reflections can hold a moment and emphasize an expression of spirit

that calls for further understanding, together building a bridge that forms the creation of possibilities and potential for each individual.

Each intimate and fragile story we hear, echoes a moment when a sense other than us

has entered into our own view. These words are longing to be heard and to be shared and if

In Silence - All I Am Dobell entry

we listen carefully with these

meetings and through the stillness of conversation and breath we are slowly gathered towards an arrival

point; a place where our own reality and its surroundings change and

that which once was familiar, dissolves into further recognition.A greater awareness beyond one’s

self is located somewhere with the embrace of humanity and for all of

it.

WEBSITE Slavica Zivkovic

About your Mother?

“I never really knew my mother, she died when I was only five years old” The abscense of my mother has been a huge presence in my life. You search for connections when you don’t know someone. I think what come to mind about mother is that what a mother gives - that of  nurturance, compassion and love. I believe and   know all these elements  are so vital in not only r e c o g n i z i n g o u r o w n u n i q u e capabilities; but to also  know we can give this unconditionally to all we meet . 

“Empathy  compassion and love  have the ability  to  makes us aware of the interconnectedness that exists in all humanity and  any simple gestures that flow forth  and create acts in their honour  can ignite greatness.  They allow all of us to   grow  and create a world that is linked through heart and not fear. And of my own sense of mother within loss-  perhaps these few words come to mind. "It is the image in the mind that links us to our lost treasures, but it is the loss that  shapes the image, gathers the flowers, and weaves the garland”.

“As for my travels they are always great leaps of faith in following the intuitive voice of sprit that yearns to rise and push all of us out of our comfort zones. They allow me to find parts of self that I have yet not fully recognised nor thought they could even exist; such  is the search to strive to reach ones full potential”. - Slavica Zivkovic

The homes of stylist, Bee Smith Gilbert over the years have

always been filled with family and friends, and friends of

friends. Whether it was her one bedroom unit in Sydney or

her country home in the Southern Highlands.

The conversations in her busy kitchen are about life and

living. The energy is loving and it’s just the way she likes it!

Story & photography - Coty Farquhar

The wonderful part of being a stylist is meeting other stylists, likes attract they say! Since opening my studio

many stylists have dropped into say hello and it’s true, we have so much in common. Late one Saturday

afternoon a couple of years ago, I met Bee (Barbara) Smith Gilbert when she came to my studio with her sister

Wendy. I was completing a job at the time and of course I was running really late, so I hesitated in opening the

door so not to be loosing time, introductions were made and they said, “Don’t worry Coty, we won’t take up your time, we just wanted to say hello”. Nearly two hours later and what was a non stop incredible

conversation, I felt as if I had known Bee forever. Bee Smith Gilbert, well, how do I describe her? She is a

woman who puts everything into one big bag, no matter the weight and carries it through life. She is a

collector, a stylist, a cook, a Mother, a wife, a sister to five, a daughter and a caring friend to many. I’m not

sure which order they come, but it doesn’t really matter as Bee manages to juggle everything and more all in her day, she is a busy Bee!

As she stirs the pot of boiling fruit in her kitchen with the mobile phone balancing on her shoulder, she has

already delivered her early morning baking to her antique stall, tendered her vegetable patch, walked their dog

Gypsy and spoken to her sisters and it’s only 10am.

Born and raised in North East England she is one of six and placed right in the middle of the children. “We

lived in a three bedroom house and for as long as I can remember we always had someone extra at our table most nights” says Bee. “Our house was like a magnet” there was always someone visiting. My mother who also

came from a very big family, I remember my Mother would send my sister to collect an old lady from nearby

to come for a meal. It’s just the way it was and it is still today. My house is the same, my husband Ralph was a

little overwhelmed at first with so many people visiting, but now he loves it. My mother said, before she

passed away, that she was the luckiest person in the world to have so many people visiting her, “some people just

don’t have anyone,” she said.

My mother was always busy with six children and she didn’t have time for cuddles through the day, so we kids

just cuddled each other and every single baby and little child that we could find in the district. We were so

excited to hear the news of a new born, and we, my sisters and I would fight over who could push the pram up and down the street. It’s completely different nowadays as everyone is so nervous about letting anyone take

their baby away, but for us, at that time it was the most natural thing to do, we were just attracted to babies!

What I do for work is what I have always naturally done all my life, baking was something I learnt from my

Mother who each day would bake bread, pies and tarts. My Great Grandmother, Sarah, who was a Gypsy, and

from my father’s side of the family was collecting and buying antiques from deceased estates in England many

years ago. I’m sure that’s where I get my love of collecting from, says Bee. For me putting home made jam into

a lovely old glass dish and cakes on pre-loved silver dishes found at markets is just the natural thing to do. Fixing

something beautiful that is broken or needing mending is only natural, why throw it away when it be repaired. I

love to collect and I do use everything. Bee came to Australia in 1986 with her five year old son Sam to visit her sister Gloria for a couple of months,

she loved it so much, she decided to stay. I started working at first cooking meals for friends, huge lasagnas,

cakes and jams. I had to do something that I could do from home whilst looking after my son. So I cooked! I

then started working casually for Yves Saint Laurent and Avon as a makeup stylist and from there I started to

gather styling jobs with clients such as Sheridan Sheets and some food styling. “I just pretended to know what I

was doing in the beginning when I got my first food styling job” laughs Bee. It was a lot harder to do than I

thought. I started some cooking classes with Elise Pascoe, well know Australian author and foodie in the

country kitchen at Jamberoo, not far from the Southern Highlands. Elise asked me to work for her in her kitchen and this is where I learnt the importance of discipline and organization. I then started my own business

called ‘Bee Bon Belle’ and I sold my jams and tarts at the markets and through our little antique store at Dirty

Janes Emporium in Bowral, a store that she shared with friend, Belinda Seper, owner of the ‘Belinda’ boutiques

in Australia. Both Belinda and I were selling our own things, we didn’t buy to fill the stand, we just sold what

we no longer needed to keep. Bee and Belinda are still working together today in their shop in Sydney called

“The Frock Exchange”. A store that offers high end fashion, end-of-season merchandise and pre-loved designer

pieces.

Bee has lived in some beautiful established properties in the Southern Highlands, and moving three times. Her connection with her family is still very strong and she spends most weeks with her sisters. When Bee first came

to the Southern Highlands, their first two homes, Greyleaves and Munro Park had adjoining homes on the

property and this is where her sister lived with their young family. It was just perfect said Bee! We got to spend

all day together just like when we were little, and now with our own children. We are just lucky! When I first

moved to the Southern Highlands I was taken away by the trees, says Bee. My sister Wendy and I planted 1000’s of daffodils at the front gates of Munro Park in Sutton Forrest about six years ago when we lived there, they will

be up in a couple of months and I know they will be there now forever in the Highlands for everyone passing to

enjoy. I miss the Southern Highlands very much and I miss my friends, says Bee as she now commutes weekly to

run the store in Sydney. We miss her too!

Styling magazine photographed Bee’s home and outdoor table setting which was set under the most magnificent autumn Chinese Elm tree at her home ‘Trelm’ an historic property in Moss Vale. Trelm is filled with natural

light and the view across the patio and garden looking out to the countryside is simply breathtaking.

We spend most of the time in the sitting room and

the kitchen, the sitting rooms are all linked to the

outdoors with large arched windows and French

doors, it is a lovely warm room through the colder

seasons and cool in Summer.Before the shoot, Bee and I spent the morning

picking quinces from a local property and gathering

autumn berries and leaves from her home, we

created a colourful centerpiece for the table and

learnt a few styling trick from each other. The Chinese elm leaves were rich, the food was rich …

and everything was delicious. Bee’s cakes, meringues

and dishes kept coming out of the kitchen, whipped

cream for the scones, amazing jams and more. The

table is filled, full of food, full of china and full of her favourite things. It is a gathering, it a special time,

and in my life, any excuse to sit and be with family

and friends is special and we all love to eat sweet

things here. Bon Appetite … Beautiful Bee Bon.

It was a special brunch!

Sharon Santoni from My French Country Home

visits local antique dealer andrestorer, Laurent Escoulin’s workshop

to learn the process ofrestoring and gilding a selection of beautiful antique carved frames.

M y F r e n c h C o u n t r y H o m e

In today’s busy world, watching a true

craftsman take his time to restore and renovate antique furniture  is a

privilege.

 

Antique dealer and restoration expert, Laurent Escoulin, kindly let me and my camera  into his workshop where he was restoring a pair of 18th century mirrors.  One of the mirrors had lost its ornate ‘fronton’;  Laurent had painstakingly taken a molding of the surviving decorative element and reproduced it in plaster.

 

The Plaster of Paris form would be painted with a red clay base paint, polished with an Agatha stone, and sized ready to receive the wafer thin gold leaf. The tools and equipment surrounding the process are almost as beautiful as the items in restoration. 

The gold leaf is carefully lifted with a wide brush onto a suede padded cushion for cutting.  Around the cushion stands a fold-out screen, designed to protect the fragile gold leaf from air currents and dust.

This is only a very small piece of work, but Laurent specializes in outsize picture frames and even furniture.

An expert like Laurent does not see old furniture in the same way as us other mere mortals!  Where most people would walk past a broken frame in a fair, Laurent can see the former beauty, assess the damage and decide whether restoration is worthwhile.
