J'adore Adore

I had the pleasure of attending <a href="http://www.adoremagazine.com/">Adore's</a> first birthday celebrations last week, and what a great night it was. I met the lovely Loni, caught up with many fellow bloggers, and generally had a great night celebrating a really great local magazine. As an added bonus, the new issue is out now, and it's an absolute gem:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTsoVsqmwdAakgcWCIKlIWGow0cGAHksI8vLh7-cnOGQ6syFI4QtC3TfTy2KnDUKCfBGOkGMgD0nqZ8CmQqsdcS9GDRMwUtD8_-tUCFb5XulGiYdKOdZO-z1GAc8qYJZWB6UpaAqwCI7Bs/s1600/adore+hamptons+feature+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTsoVsqmwdAakgcWCIKlIWGow0cGAHksI8vLh7-cnOGQ6syFI4QtC3TfTy2KnDUKCfBGOkGMgD0nqZ8CmQqsdcS9GDRMwUtD8_-tUCFb5XulGiYdKOdZO-z1GAc8qYJZWB6UpaAqwCI7Bs/s640/adore+hamptons+feature+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">and look - there's my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/63800963/sea-coral-in-turquoise-ii-print">Sea Coral II in Turquoise</a> in the Hamptons feature - love it!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKAWhnQrzi8Y_FHA-g5JXD17dxFWhYI28NFl1KrW_Hrpm3EHV0c2P8zaElWKab8Iv3pMaxr7HZnawAywFcMiKo-lbbxu_uTiCY5UYBKujczAFK0D5VKKlk1d15_1mmn12e9QtzuxLilFNd/s1600/adore.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKAWhnQrzi8Y_FHA-g5JXD17dxFWhYI28NFl1KrW_Hrpm3EHV0c2P8zaElWKab8Iv3pMaxr7HZnawAywFcMiKo-lbbxu_uTiCY5UYBKujczAFK0D5VKKlk1d15_1mmn12e9QtzuxLilFNd/s640/adore.png" width="531" /></a></div><br /><br />Seriously, this latest issue is the bomb.

I have to say, it's been slim pickings lately in the real estate world. The recent slump has seen fewer homes coming onto the market, but I did manage to find this lovely weatherboard number in Glen Iris, Victoria. I'm a sucker for a pretty Edwardian cottage, so let's take a look around:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3iZOVRp-vIUED0C3DuB3iPKaVNrGk2QL7VVRWKSfiPqaEL7H4CjupySBajZ-DcsIsBQ89g32PXwPeSS9dGUwwIriJOyU7zLuBjrl_EzgDS0hmcJllW3L4KLkkHGYhI6CRu8i1M4c7sxHP/s1600/20111003114054.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
