moving on...

tim and i have decided to put our little home in the twigs on the market... she is such a beautiful cottage and we loved our time living there but after the past year living in hobart we feel this is the place for us to stay longer term. we hope her next owner loves her as much as we did.

another snippet of amazing taswegian talent. the little big house by room 11 is located in fern tree, on the delightful slopes of mt wellington. it's truly stunning. oh how i would love to visit her.

markree on hampden road in hobart is a gorgeous house built in 1926 that is now a lovely museum and garden. i love this sort of thing - it's such a great way of visiting the past. last saturday morning bb & i did just that.

we spent the morning in the world of henry baldwin. a generous man who left his whole house and contents to the very lucky tasmanian museum and art gallery. he has left everything you can imagine - from his mothers glorious hats, pottery, furniture, art  & a divine collection of tin toys mostly from the 1920s (i loved these!)

the museum is a total treasure. get along if you can...

this old house

i drive past this abandoned house everyday.  it really intrigues me.  i wonder who used to live there and what its like inside. even though he looks a little scary i have the feeling he has had a good life.
