Time for the Doll Show Again


Hobart Doll Show poster

It’s that time of year again. The one doll show that I can get to is on again soon at the Hobart Show Grounds. Luckily it is on for two days because I can’t make it on Saturday as I usually do. This year Naomi and I will go on the Sunday. Although the show is primarily to showcase porcelain dolls made by members of the Hobart Doll Club there are always interesting stalls with dolls, bears, clothing and supplies and I love browsing around these. Here are some of my finds from previous years.

2014

A Pedigree doll and her little friend.

2015

New outfits for two dolls and two clone dolls.

Sue’s new outfit
Marilyn’s new dress
Sindy clone-made in Hong Kong
The stall holder told me this was her original outfit.

2016

A Steffi Love doll and a horse for her. I forgot to take a photo of Steffi or if I did I can’t find it.

Sindy and Sarah, horsewomen.

2017

Singing Troy from High School Musical.

Naomi has had a few nice finds too. What will we find this year I wonder?

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.
