Cocoon - A Lovely Little Launceston Shoppe

Oh Launie, your city streets smell like yeast from the James Boag Brewery and your shops are very quaint!

Launceston is a sweet little city that slowly woos you with its Tasmanian charm. I was amazed that Cataract George is so close to the city. It was such a beautiful, tranquil wilderness only minutes away from the city centre.



On my last morning in Launceston I managed to fit in a bit of shopping in the city area. I stumbled across a very quaint shop called Cocoon at 109 George Street.



Cocoon sells a variety of homewares, beauty products, accessories and funky bits and pieces.

I bought a cute bird peg and lipgloss package for Wei and a Black Eyed Susie hairclip and hairtie made from kimono fabric that featured a babushka doll.



The very friendly sales assistant let me know that an online store will soon be available.

In the meantime, Black Eyed Susie has an etsy store which also has more unique accessories (Susie appears to be on a maternity break but will be at Niche Market in Launceston on May 3 and 4).
