Tantalising Tassie



I recently went to Tasmania for a mini-break and was able to check out some of our favourite stores. I hope that you enjoy the following!
 
Cocoon
109 George St, Launceston, (03) 6331 0611, www.cocoonlaunceston.com.au.
 
A favourite of the staff here, the store didn’t disappoint. In fact, I went back a second time (on the morning we were due to leave Launceston for Hobart) after I couldn’t stop thinking about things I’d seen in the shop the first time!













Love & Clutter
31 Murray St, Hobart, (03) 6224 2222.

 
When I grow up, I would like (no, love) to have my own shop and I think that it would have a big dollop of Love & Clutter’s mojo. Starting with the cosy layout (the store is by no means big) and the products that border on quirky and heartfelt …
 










Luxe
134 Liverpool St, Hobart, (03) 6236 9898.


A mix of beautiful clothes, stationary and jewellery. A very inspiring ‘lifestyle’ type store. I LOVE that the colours on the mannequin (pictured) are just so subtle and understated and the girls behind the counter were very friendly and helpful.




And here are some other things I saw in Tasmania … (including a 'ghost' in the window of a building before we started on the actual Port Arthur ghost tour!)

The vintage typewriter at the beginning already had my heart fluttering. But there were just more and more loveliness in the following images. Thanks for sharing!

How lovely! Tassie is full of hidden talent - great to give these little stores some extra exposure.

I love Tassie! And I've been to Cocoon as well, it's a lovely shop. And that's a creepy picture - just the like the tour which I did as well.

It's lovely to see how much everyone is smitten with Tasmania. I really enjoyed Sally's mini-tour, too.
I've also added everyone's blogs to our blogroll, altho I had a touch of trouble with yours, Rosie (Blogger wouldn't let me add it, sadly), so I've put in your website instead.
Thanks everyone!
