Hobart ... So hot right now

Hobart is so hot right now! It’s the little city that could and is the perfect weekend getaway - amazing art, incredible food and a cool craft spirit scene that makes a couple of days exploring so much fun.

After a long (long!) lunch at Franklin (I’m still dreaming of the housemade burrata *swoon*) we were wandering the streets fighting off a food coma when I happened upon this little antique shop with a wonderful piece of West German pottery in the window (I’m a bit obsessed). Unfortunately the “closed” sign on the door meant it wasn’t to be.
​​
I was peering into the window, looking longingly at its unique lush green, orange and white colourings, ruing that we hadn’t walked by 10 minutes earlier when the shop was still open, when, luckily, the owner spied me - and my hangdog expression - in the window and opened the store.
The vase was mine! And its gorgeous gradient and colours are now yours, too!

The piece of west german pottery that I had to have. The inspiration for the Hobart cushion.

Parts of the incredible long, long, long, lunch at Franklin in Hobart. We did have more to eat than just this and maybe a "few" extra glasses of wine. Love a long lunch.

Walking off said long lunch and taking in the views of the waterfront.

Eating, eating and more eating. This time at Fico. Another long lunch and highly recommended.

Some incredible sights in MONA, Australia's best Art Museum. Another reason to go to Hobart!
