Beads In The Botanical Gardens

Visiting the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens

in Hobart, the capital city of my state.

The gardens were established in 1818

and are the second oldest Botanical Gardens 

in Australia.

Posing in an archway of the Eardley- Wilmot Wall.

This wall was named in honour of Sir John Eardley-Wilmot,

Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania in

the early days of colonisation. 

Admiring the roses on the arbour, for me as a 

rose lover always a highlight.

Wearing a cream and grey fedora by Crochetta,

purchased in Sydney, teamed with a vanilla

leather jacket by Caroline Moore .

This interesting water structure forms

part of the Japanese Garden.

Autumn colours feature in the

background. 

.

 I have had these glass beads for many years,

 they were a birthday gift from my husband.

. A pleasure to wear, with so many

colours, they go with everything , adding

another element to a neutral background.

Linking with the stylish ladies

at Visible Monday.

A little glamour, my way, every day.

    You are a flower in the garden! You look pretty in your simple outfit … just right accessories, and it all has a pretty high "cool factor." Love your choice of shapes and silhouettes!Thank you so much for these little travel tours … your country is on my list of places I really want to visit. I'll probably never make it, but this is a treat.Those old fashioned roses knock me out. Were they fragrant?

    Glad you enjoy the little tours, if you ever do get to Australia , I would be happy to play tour guide. The roses were lovely and had a great fragrance. A return trip to the US is a one day possibility for me( last visit 1983, a lifetime ago.)Once again thank you for your encouragement.

    Wonderfully lovely, subtly whimsical glass beads (they best kind, no?). I adore a great mixed strand (or two – or ten!) like that. They go with just about everything and are like wearing a piece of creative art with you wherever you go.♥ Jessica
