Hobart Doll & Bear Show

We had some pretty miserable weather on Saturday so we decided to not go to the snow, instead I went to the Hobart Doll & BearShow and what a show it was. The work put into these are simply amazing. There's the magnificent porcelain dolls....

Gorgeous cloth dolls......Cute little teddies......

dolls that look like they're almost breathing.....

and the ones that are just soooo cute..... (and life-like too!)
There were stallholders selling there wares, raffles and yummy food too. It was a lovely way to spend a Saturday arvo out of the rain and wind!
