Memories of a sunny day spent at Rouse Hill Estate Memories of a sunny day spent at Rouse Hill Estate. I'm always much more inspired to write and research if it's sunny...or pouring with rain 🌞🌧 Do you have a preferred type of weather that gives you motivation to get things done? #rousehillestate #rousehillhouseandfarm #museumvisit #sydneyhistory #servantsquarters #historian #historianinthemaking #historyresearcher #thesislife #historyblogger #historybloggersaustralia #unistudent #thesis #thesisresearch #writing #writingtips #motivation #thursdaythrowback
Today I thought I'd share a bit of research encour Today I thought I'd share a bit of research encouragement for all my fellow history researchers and writers out there. Yesterday, I looked at a blank section of my Word document and felt stuck. Until I decided to plot out the main things I wanted to say using dot points. I ended up writing most of the section in full sentences despite the dot points being present! Go figure. Moral of the story: if you're feeling threatened by a blank page, try dot points. #writingtips #thesistips #encouragement #historiansofinstagram #histortgirls #writinginspiration #writingaboutwriting #history #historyresearcher #historyresearch #thesislife #thesiswriting #researchtips #memoirsofateapot #australianbloogers #historylove #historyblogger
During my research this week on my thesis, I found During my research this week on my thesis, I found an absolutely wonderful comment that really resonated with me about objects and why museums and hands-on history learning is so important. "It has been argued that objects have a special resonance with the past. They have a permanence, an objectivity, that can long outlast their owners...Physical interaction with objects allows people to directly re-engage with their past...The way people interact with objects helps to create and confirm their identities and their relationships with others."

Here's me all rugged up next to an 1872 built and highly ornate, public drinking fountain. I loved it, so I needed a picture with it 😆🥶 #coldweather #coldweatherstyles #dunedinviews #historicarchitecture #drinkingfountain #notyouraverage #1870s #historygirls #historygirlstravel #heritagewalk #greydays #memoirsofateapot #historybloggersaustralia #historylove #lovelearning #lovelearningabouthistory #findinghistory #dunedinhistory #victorianperiod #victorianarchitecture #fridayfeels #travelgram #historygram
A glimpse of the many verandahs of Elizabeth Farm; A glimpse of the many verandahs of Elizabeth Farm; home of John and Elizabeth Macarthur from 1793 until their deaths. The verandahs connect the main house with the kitchen and the servant's quarters which were not otherwise connected in case of fire. A good thing too, since the original kitchen built at Elizabeth Farm burnt down not many years after the Macarthur's moved in. #elizabethfarm #sydlivmus #historyblogger #historybloggersaustralia #parramattahistory #sydneyheritage #housemuseum #historichouse #themacarthurs #johnmacarthur #elizabethmacarthur #historiansofinstagram #historygirls #australianhistory #colonialestate #historyiseverywhere #museum #learnaboutthepast #memoirsofateapot

Something to brighten your Instagram feed! I love Something to brighten your Instagram feed! I love lead light lamps. I found this one at an antique shop in Bowral back in December. But unfortunately I had nowhere to put it in my home, so it stayed in the shop. 😮🙃🤩 In other news, I have a few blog posts lined up in half finished states but my thesis is swallowing up all my mental capacity just now! Looking forward to publishing one sometime soon though. #historyblogger #historybloggeraustralia #antiquelamp #antiques #antiquewindowshopping #memoirsofateapot #thursdaythrowback #historylove #historiansofinstagram #tiffanylamp #purpleglass #glasslamp #glasslampshade #antiquesshop #vintagelamp #leadlight #leadlightlamp #memoirsofahistoryblogger #researchlife #thesiswriting #historiansofinstagram #historianinthemaking
