IT FEELS LIKE SUMMER
my city hideaway
THROUGH THE MELBOURNE MARKETS AND OVER THE BRIDGE, HIDES A SWEET AND QUAINT HOUSE
Welcome to the art of hosting! 'Summer’ is a still-life art exhibition that showcases elements involved in hosting. From the vibrant flowers to the elegance of silver cutlery, each detail contributes to the overall experience.
Summer has a flavour like no other with fruits, fresh food and put together feasting tables. Whether it’s a casual breakfast, a lavish lunch, or a festive dinner, summer is all about creating lasting memories with loved ones.
We had the absolute pleasure of doing a photoshoot at Fiona's My City Hideaway Airbnb, which has been recognized as one of the best Airbnbs in Melbourne!
So, gather around, pull up a chair, and immerse yourself in this exclusive art catalogue. We’re delighted to share this with you!
With love from,
Fiona Ward, Jessica Olpp, Parita Thakkar & Jessie Feitosa
