21.01.2022 This fabulous little boxed set walked out the door before I’d even had the chance to properly welcome it. I’m always impressed at what a great eye the locals have for something lovely #oldandlovely #bequick #mudgee #antiquecutlery #beauty

21.01.2022 The Old and the Beautiful I love clean lines and minimalist style, modern architecture, white walls and the perfect placement of a statement design piece. I just cant bring myself to live like that no matter how much I wish I could or how much I appreciate the aesthetic. Im sure I was born this way, its not a lifestyle choice. ... For me beauty has always been tied up with age, with the imagination of the story and history. With wear of wood, clay, glass and the patina of metals. Quality and time in craftsmanship, durability and sturdiness. I like luxury and romance and this too comes with a layering of heavy linen, hand painted china, crystal chandeliers and gilt mirrors. Putting this together in the modern home can be achieved with a balance that shows youre not a slave to McMansion fashion and cooky cutter modernity or that alarming sameness of suburban styling. Just start with a single piece that you love and then let champagne logic do the rest. CHAMPAGNE LOGIC The art of reasoning a desire into a necessity My skill at this is so great I created a term and definition for it. I deserve it.Ive earnt it..It will be useful one day.It will be just right for.Ive always wanted oneIts my birthday this year. Under the surface humour are the very human traits of accumulation, possession & ownership. So I have taken Champagne Logic to yet another level. By creating Flora Speed I have a legitimate reason to shop. I am bringing pleasure to others, sharing my love of the old and the beautiful and giving a new life to objects which deserve to live on.



21.01.2022 This happy little chandelier was purchased from Flora (thanks for the share!) As a big fan of the drama these fabulous lights cast, we have a range from the small and cute through to the big statement drops. If you’re looking to stamp your individuality on anything from a bathroom (especially a bathroom!) to a lounge or bedroom, drop in and ask to see what I’ve got hiding out the back too. #mudgeeregion #chandaliers #goyourownway #upcycle #antiquesfornow

17.01.2022 Flora Speed was my Grandmother. She was a market gardener, a commercial flower grower, a poultry breeder (legend has it her success was due to her ability to predict the sex of a fertilised egg) and she could cook for a tribe of shearers with one hand while seamlessly dressing a duck she had expertly decapitated herself, with the other. Flora grew up in Tonga, her mother had rescued my Great Grandfather from a beach where he had been discarded by sailors for fear his flu migh...t infect the ship on which he was travelling from Australia to Great Britain. He never did get back to England to claim his title but we are all here to tell other, probably much more interesting, tales. Flora died when I was a baby. But I feel her every time I collect an egg or pick a crop. I channel her love of cooking for anyone who isnt pinned down and in vast quantities from whatever is at hand. Flora never wasted a thing. That too I love about this woman I never knew but who is so much of what I am.

17.01.2022 Open 10-4pm all weekend

16.01.2022 Either very strange flying saucer sighting at Flora this week or a great lighting set has landed. #mudgee #lighting #shoplocal #beoriginal

15.01.2022 Shall we drink to that? I use good crystal decanters and glasses as charming and quirky alternatives to vases, crystal and roses having a special affinity. But I might think that was a terrible idea if I was a whisky drinker...#decanter #crystal #repurpose #whisky #mudgeeregion #mudgee #vintage

12.01.2022 About French copper cookware Copper is the oldest metal used by man and an addiction to cooking with (and collecting) copper pans is completely understandable. Burnished good looks, sturdiness and a riveted link between aesthetics and ergonomics. With brassy metal being totally on-trend, stay ahead of fashion and go with genuine, authentic quality and style that wont date.... Hang them, drape them, fill them with fresh produce - nothing links your desire to have a gorgeous kitchen capable of creating fabulous food with something approaching reality in quite the same way. Some people even cook with them! For the cook nothing compares with the sheer joy of using the worlds best culinary material. Usually accompanied by tin lining, coppers conductivity is unrivalled, holding and spreading heat quickly and evenly. In the professional kitchen nothing comes close. Romance, history and elegance doesnt have to belong to old families and posh hotels - just in case you needed any further excuse to own your own collection. And unlike buying new cookware these will never decrease in value - your kids will fight over them! Regular use will keep them with just the right balance of patina and hygiene. If you prefer them sparkling (I dont) use a copper & brass cleaner or salt and half a lemon. Flora Speed will be offering a wide selection of authentic French vintage copper pans from $50. #homecookingisthebest #copperpots #mudgeeregion #antiquesanddesign #cookwithlove

12.01.2022 I am completely in love with hand painted oriental lacquer cupboards and cabinets of all sorts. The detail, and daintiness lift a room with their elegant beauty and quiet nod to a cultured history. And if you need to champagne logic it, they’re useful #champagnelogic #usefulbeauty #orientalantiques #mudgee #mudgeereguon #vintage
