One great thing about working from a warehouse is, playing one of my top 10 favourite albums all day, today was,
Splendor Solis, The Tea Party. So many of my favourite songs on this album, especially “The River”
I’ve been blessed to see The Tea Party many times over the past 25 plus years. I’ve taken my children and many very special friends, even wonderful Niko for his first ever concert ✨
A few years ago I booked five tickets for myself, Allie, James, Charlie & Luke,
Went to check the date, had already been!!! One of the bummers re shisen memory!
Charlie, Luke and I saw Jeff Martin (lead singer) at the Brunswick Ballroom recently. So many special memories. I’m truly blessed…
You’re welcome to call into my warehouse one day, enjoy a coffee (my shout) seeing beautiful antiques & art and play some amazing music together…
I’m not your usual antique/art dealer.

I had Russell Winnell photograph the table in great detail and featured at a Sydney antique fair. I returned to Melbourne and forgot about until now.

Mali Moir – WW1 Waler with Bradshaw 1915 – Charcoal
Our collective pride of the ledgendary Australian Light Horse is immense.
Austalia sent more than 120,000 horses overseas during the first world war, only one returned.
Walers began as a nickname for ‘New South Waler’s where horse breeding began by Early Settlers using several imported breeds.
The selective breeding program of our great Australian Waler had similar principles as Isaac Asimovs first law of robotics, ‘thou shall not harm a human’.
“This painting was inspired through the ABC radio interveiw by Richard Fiddler on Janet Lane and Ros Sexton’s quest to save the Waler.
The astonishing quality of Waler’s became apparent and my deep admiration and respect for both soldiers and horses was immediate.
During the drawing process of this artwork, I listened to over thirty hours on the history of WW1, I am sorry to say I was mostly unaware of the intensity and horror of this ‘war to end all wars’.”
This wonderful piece of art is for sale.
I look forward to seeing where this piece will sit and shine bright.
