I Flower, I Goat...
My first installation of flowers at our favourite 'local' - the Mountain Goat Brewery in Richmond.
The Goat is a brewery with an environmental conscience and passion for real beer, nothing like the big end of town. Great pizzas from the bar with all of their regular beers and specials on tap. Hidden down an industrial backstreet in typical Melbourne fashion, its housed in a an old tannery warehouse with huge ceilings and a minimalist fitout. A very funky bar sits just opposite the brewing tanks, with furniture made from old packing crates or quirky second hand pieces. Its only open two nights a week, which is part of its charm, or it can be booked for private functions on a Saturday.
The gorgeous rough rawness of the place makes it such a great place for a dress up party and a very funky space for flowers. So many options for flowers!! Massive, tall arrangements can be placed centered on the tables, or the shoulder height ledge running around the end wall could be lined with bottles of single blooms... Can't wait to sink my teeth in next year.

The one use I have for silver spray paint...
Whilst I'm not usually a huge fan of florists using spray paint, every now and then it can be used in a cute way. I love the viburnum berry painted silver - just like little baubles. Since we won't be here Christmas Day I figure this will make a lovely little "tree"!
...and the pile of twigs lying in our courtyard made a very nice 'drop sheet'.
Luckily the passionfruit flower managed to escape a coat.
