22.01.2022 Such a charming bonnet tribute from Kate Powell remembering the life of Margaret Brown. Margaret was transported to Van Diemen’s Land aboard the Mary 3 in 1831. This bonnet is part of my ‘Rose’s from the Heart’ Memorial. This bonnet will be included in the display on 7 August 2021 at the ‘Festival of Bonnets’ being held at Glen Derwent, New Norfolk, Tasmania Glen Derwent Glen Derwent Tea Rooms Roses from the Heart Stage2 Christina Henri - Roses from the Heart

13.01.2022 What a delightful time we had today at Glen Derwent Tea Rooms, New Norfolk. On a 36+ degree day we remained cool inside the colonial home built for First Settler James Bryan Cullen and his wife Elizabeth Bartlett. Thanks to Liz Virtue for providing this special venue and for the endless supply of iced lemon water and treats from the kitchen. Thanks to all who came along today with wonderful fabric contributions, completed or in-progress bonnet tributes and with heart-felt emp...athy for the Lasses being remembered through the symbolism of a bonnet. The lovely bonnet featured here remembering Agnes Chambers transported to Van Diemen’s Land aboard the ‘Emma Eugenia’ in 1851 is a testament to Laura Mulheran’s sewing skills. Laura began stitching this, her second ‘Roses from the Heart’ bonnet tribute last year. Prior to attending the bonnet making sessions at Glen Derwent Laura had never sewn before. Her stitching is beautiful and she is already planning her third bonnet..... See more
