Birds of Paradise, $350 a roll
I get a weird proud feeling whenever I see a Florence Broadhurst wallpaper in a fabulous home - it's so nice to see Australian design coveted internationally. I'm also fascinated with her life and her horrible murder - sad but true. It must be my old "news nose" coming through - I can't escape being drawn to the dreary stories and needing to know more... Onto cheerier aspects of the talented Ms Broadhurst -
Signature Prints has recently released eight new previously
unreleased Broadhurst designs. According to their newsletter, this is "new" but I'm sure I've seen these around the web before. But just in case you haven't: the Glamour Collection is just that - a collection of glamourous patterns in shimmery metallics, classic colours and the trademark Florence flair. Here they are in shades of grey - my current fave colour. I also noticed
Domino calls the browny greys "greige". Cute!
Romanesque, $350/10m roll
Brushed Trellis, $350/10m roll
Peacock Feathers, $380/10 roll
Paris, $350/10m roll
Cockatoos, $350/10m roll
Heraldic, $350/10m roll
Roman Soldiers, $380/10m roll
Something else to keep an eye out for: Florence Broadhurst handmade rugs by Cadrys will be released in November. Looking forward to seeing her patterns in another medium.

I remember watching that Sunday Arts show on ABC and there was a former employee of hers who approached The Powerhouse Museum with some old prints that were not yet released,this may be some of the unseen prints.
Ahh my all time favourite designer. ever.
