I’m Anne-Marie Smith – my passion is recycling, upcycling, design and craft. I have a studio (garage) full of vintage (or junk as my husband likes to call it). I’m a whizz at organising events (bossy). Oh and I love food whether that’s cooking, bottling, baking or eating it!

tea & toast & tapas is a lifestyle blog and online shop stuffed full of ideas, inspirations and handmade loveliness.

 

No 14 is the biggest upcycling and design project I’ve undertaken here. An original wooden chalet restored and updated but still retaining that seaside chalet feel with lots of vintage touches. Available to rent from Easter 2021 subject to campsite opening dates and Covid 19 restrictions (Contact for Details on Bookings)

The Pop-Up Artisan Market is a whole new venture. An online space for creative businesses based here in the Costa Brava to promote and sell their work to a wider audience. Particularly during these difficult times when the usual places like Arts and Crafts Markets and Events are cancelled and people who would normally buy their unique and original pieces for themselves, their friends and their families from independent traders have few means of seeking them out. Its been running since November last year and we are gradually building a following and adding to our traders all the time. Do get in touch if you think this is for you!

    It's a funny old time December, half of me is a wee bit excited by the whole dressing the place for the season to be jolly, the other half wants to curl up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate, thick socks and a blanket and watch movies.

    New clobber and winter prep

    November 9, 2022 /

    You know what it's like the weather takes a turn, it's always the same at this time of year. What better time than to start looking at my winter wardrobe, an alien concept when I am still walking around in flip flops and have only just progressed to slip on flats to go out in!
