fresh on charles - eating spot

i love launceston. it's such a sweet town - full of interesting spots and people. one of those spots is fresh. i'd been a few times before and have always had some amazing vegetarian treats there but i was excited when i visited last time to see they had undertaken a monster makeover. the space is now even better than ever. they also have some onsite accommodation available - what a great addition.

bunting

i love the look and feel of oil cloth. i bought some recently & have been meaning to make something out of it. i finally got around to a small project yesterday. nothing too fancy - just a string of bunting to hanging on the verandah in the twigs. considering i'm not very handy with a sewing machine, i was quite happy how with how it turned out. i think it will look sweet against our little white house.

knit ulverstone...

i was excited to read this article earlier in the week. i thought this tree looked amazing. as one of my friends recently moved to the north of the state (sniff, i miss her...) i asked if she could have a look and take some photos for me. thank you miss. it seems it was even more glorious than i had first thought! such a beautiful way to decorate the streets and to celebrate christmas.

hard rubbish

its hard rubbish time in hobart and the streets are full of amazing bits and pieces. last night on my walk home i found these delightful willow tray tables (just like this one only prettier). i bought them both home to start a new life at the pit-stop. very handy indeed.

i ♥ tassie

 

a quick look around our house and i think i may have developed a  bit of a problem. i seem to be obsessed with tasmania.  everywhere i look is a kitsch tassie 'something'. i think the combination of my love of kitsch-ness, collecting things and our new found home have created a monster. to give you an idea of what i mean, here is a snapshot of some bits i have gathered since our move.
