10th Annual Oatlands Spring Festival.

The 10th Annual Oatlands Spring Festival

went down a treat yesterday. OK the weather wasn't perfect but it didn't sleet & it was a little warmer than the day before & word is out that it is one of the finest regional village festivals in Tasmania.

Thousands of people enjoyed all that was on offer.

The gallery was humming with people all day .

Yes of course some of us dressed for the occassion .

Oatlands takes the biscuit !

 The opening of the mill is really causing a stir ..............of flour, sugar and butter etc........  thanks to FLATPACKBACKERS we have our very own Oatlands inspired treats !

BIG NEWS !

The Historic Callington Flour Mill in its new refurbished and functioning state is opening to the public on Monday 4th October.............

The mill hasn't been in working order since the 1920's and it will be the only functioning stone grinding wind powered flour mill in the southern hemisphere.

So make a day of it & come and aquaint yourself with the lively little village of Oatlands.

And more gems & jewels for your Springtime wardrobe.

I am open most weeks Thursday to Sunday

Sofa Love...

I'm on the lookout for a new sofa.... and so desire something designer, unique & lush .... but don't think the budget will stretch that far ......... so I have been doing a bit of online fantasising !

MMMmmmm ....lovely leather Chesterfield.

Groovy alien pod look !

Simple Retro Design.

Colourful & versatile.

Sleek & futuristic.

Classic & comfortable.

Lush lips !

If only there was an Ikea in Tasmania ...... one of these would definately do the trick & yes orange is the desired choice.

Baby Busy ....

Well it's been a month since my last post ...... & what a month, I thought customers were demanding !

Motherhood is certainly an extra full time vocation especially with a newborn......

I am really hoping that things start to get a bit more achieveable in the weeks to come, with Mikey reaching 6 weeks old today......

I am really starting to miss my time in the shop & am so looking forward to opening up again sometime this month.......

HASTA LUEGO xxx

Sailing into a new era .

Yes the sails have been fitted onto Callington Mill just this week and will be grinding flour by the end of this month !

So exciting to be witnessing the beginning of a new era for our beautiful Georgian village.

Oh to be Rich ........

Saffire is the newly opened resort on the East Coast of Tasmania.

To call it lush is an understatement .... marble bathrooms, amazing views, exquisite architecture, furniture & fittings.

And also a top class restaurant & spa to indulge in.

Oh and our very own Oatlands Companion Bakery supplies them with their beautiful handcrafted breads.

 

Prices for a suite start from $1200 a night .....

That does include breakfast.....
