  • The Pop-Up Artisan Market

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!

    Summer is here!

    June 8, 2021 /

    After a rather wet start to the season am at last able to spend some quality time at the chalet. Naturally there are always jobs to do, it's like a never ending huge craft project but I try not to fixate too much on perfection this sort of vintage chalet needs to be its own self, crooked corners, shabby paint finishes, weathered boards all adds to its charm. Come see how the place has grown into its new self....

    The Pop-Up Artisan Market – May

    May 18, 2021 /

    It’s been awhile since I blogged so much going on here! If you follow me you will know that I’ve been setting up an on-line Artisan community over the last six months or so – The Pop-Up Artisan Market. With the whole world in lockdown and no way to meet up with like minded folk in the real world I wanted to create a virtual marketplace for us to meet, chat, share our ideas and sell to the lovely people that used to come along to craft fairs, farmers markets and the like. It’s been full on really. We are a small but merry band of creative people and businesses…
