We are so excited to introduce this next retailer and can't wait to pick up a copy of her new book, The Ideas Book, at the Sydney Magnolia Square. Bronnie Masefau is a designer and author of best selling home-making book, Australian Vintage Living. Next year she will be launching her own fabric range - is there anything she can't do? Make sure to add Bronnie to your 'must see' list at Magnolia Square!
