Hobart Dollshouse and Miniature Show 2016


This is a post primarily for any readers  in Tasmania.

I recently received a message from Kaye Smith who is the President of the Miniature Enthusiasts of Tasmania about the upcoming Hobart Dollhouse and Miniature Show.

The show will be held on the 4th and 5th of June in the Long Gallery and Sidespace Gallery at the Salamanca Arts Centre in Hobart. The admission will be five dollars.

The Miniature Enthusiasts of Tasmania who organise the show  every other year also hold workshops in the north and south of the state as follows:

  • Launceston Group: 3rd Monday of the month at 1pm
  • Eastern Shore Group: 1st Monday of the month at 7pm at Bellerive
  • Central Group: 4th Saturday of the month at 1pm at Lenah Valley

Kaye says that new members are welcome to attend workshops. The group has a Facebook page which would give more information.

 

The show is always worth seeing and I hope to go along and take some pictures to share here later on.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.
