Hobart

Trippen shoes, handmade in Germany, comfort and style, although I'm pretty sure my daughters would disagree, I love them...


I travelled to Hobart this morning, making good progress on the Cashmere baby sweater. The views here are amazing. The sunlight is pure, the climate is temperate, and there is a gentle breeze. It's very San Diego like in fact.


Here's an apricot tree on Janes property


and the view from her front yard. A view is expansive in so many ways, I find my mind expands with the view. There is rain in the forecast and I was hoping to witness a storm from these windows, but apparently Tasmania has about the same amount of weather drama as San Diego, so what I will get is some drizzly rain. Oh well, I'm sure it will be a cozy pleasant evening.


Oh and here's Little Hoot hanging out in a tree enjoying the weather....



Tomorrow is the first day of class!

  2. I do love those shoes, Marcia, but I think I love Little Hoot in the trees even more :o) I hope you are well, and not missing us in SD too much.

  4. I know Kate, the leather is exquisite, the footbed molds to your foot, and they were comfortable from the first minute. I could stand in these all day, well tomorrow I'll let you know how that goes because I will. I don't know a style number, but if pass the store again in Melbourne I will check in with Tim and ask. And! the laces are replaceable with a provided pair of elastic laces in the same color for step in and step out, no tying required....options.
