Hobart Doll Show 2022


The 2022 Hobart Doll Show is being held this coming weekend at the Rodman Bowls Club in Glenorchy and I am taking my first trip away from Sisters Beach in nearly three years to see it.

I will be heading to Hobart on Friday but have scheduled a Fashion Doll Friday post for that day already.

I am not sure of my plans yet. I may visit the show on both days or only one. I will be staying within walking distance but the weather forecast is for rain so keep your fingers crossed that I don’t get wet!

I’ll be home Monday hopefully with some photos and stories to share.

Hobart Doll Show 2019

Published by Taswegian1957

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.

    • It is. I think they ran it last year but I couldn’t go. I’m at the other end of the state now so instead of a day trip from home it is a weekend away to make the trip worth it.

  3. Sounds fun and exciting. I am just hoping for a swap meet or something this year. A virtual doll show is closest I got from Racheal Hoffman.Loving the bin dolls.(and fashions).I had wanted to ask if some of your dolls were beach themed? We are having a heatwave and some firesso added a fireman to my beach dolls and lifeguards.I am nearly ready to put a kiddy pool in the yard.Hope you get good weather for your show.

    • some of the flat footed Barbie’s are beach dolls, none on display at present as I’m still sorting.
      The forecast for the weekend is not looking great, rain and cold nights but I’ll be indoors.
