And make sure you spare some time, as you could spend an hour in here trying on all the beautiful options. RR specialises in resin jewellery. So the question becomes, how does RR compare to Dinosaur Designs? Very well in my opinion: equivalent in creativity, exceeds in choice and is far less expensive.

I know Lovisa is a chain and while I prefer to shop at local indie shops for trinkets, one thing I…read morecan rely on Lovisa for is having particular things I need, due to their range. Twice in the past few months I've flown into Lovisa with a very specific need, and twice that need has been met at a very decent price. First, I found a ridiculous "best friends" necklace the day before my BFF arrived for our ten year BFF anniversary. Second, I found the perfect pair of red earrings to go with my bridesmaid dress... yes, again the day before another bestie's wedding. This review proves that while I'm not very good at forward planning, at least I know I can rely on Lovisa.

Located within the historic Salamanca Arts Centre ( the shop is run by silversmith and artist Kerrie Bond. With all that going for this shop, I only ended up with a couple Tasmanian-made greeting cards. The jewelry looked tempting for Gayle, but she's been clear that she doesn't need more. Too bad I didn't have more time to make a run at that.

I love Betts (mostly for their sales) but I often find coming into the Hobart store I get ignored…read morewhile browsing. I hate that. All I need is for someone to check in and ask if I need any help. If I'm browsing, I'll say I'm browsing, but often I go in with a specific objective and so yes, I do need some help, thank you! On my last venture in, I was saved by a wonderful girl--I think her name was Emily. I was close to throwing my hands up and walking out after being ignored for a couple of minutes while standing around looking very needy, but Emily stepped in and addressed my sandal-neediness. I spent way more on sandals than I intended to but I also found the perfect pair, so... great job. Phew.
