THE OLYMPIC COLLECTION 2012

With the London Olympics 2012 now in full swing

I have had plenty of inspiration (especially from the opening ceremony) to create some

bright, patriotic pieces to sell.

Being not  particularly sporty by nature I have decided t name the newest editions after "famous women" or songs rather than athletes  from countries represented in London.

Enjoy these latest Hi Tea Re*Creations. 

Don't forget to make contact  in the first instance,  through the comments box at the bottom of this post, if you wish to purchase one of the stands via this page.

I will then contact you privately to keep personal information and conversations private.

To finish this post I have to share a pic with you of my delightful  granddaughter "assisting" me to "assemble" the stands that you see on this page.  

This little ray of sunshine just loves to sit near me and watch me at work. She and her new little cousin are a constant  reminder to my hubby and I of how precious the gift of our family is and how wonderful life can be when it is shared with those we love.

Bundles of Joy

Bundles of Joy

                        

With "The  Baby Shower" becoming an increasingly popular way to celebrate and  to support

  relatives or friends who are preparing to WELCOME  a newborn into their lives, I also create

"Hi Tea Re*Creations Baby Bundles" 

This  unique gift doubles as a present for  mum, who receives a beautiful 3 tiered high tea stand which I have made, filled with a "Baby Bundle" (See below for details of baby bundle contents)
The baby bundles contents are displayed on the stand.  It is designed to look like a high tea stand full of cupcakes and yummy treats.

 THE BABY BUNDLE  includes  :- approximately 1 dozen newborn nappies, 2 bibs, 1 pair of mittens, 1 pair of socks and when available, one gorgeous pair of  baby booties, lovingly hand knitted especially for the baby bundles,  by my daughter-in law's mum.  (if booties are not available, I include a second pair of socks.)

All of this is beautifully gift wrapped and also includes a gift tag.

What's in a Name??

What's in a name?

Well, if you are already a "Hi Tea ReCreations" follower via my Facebook page you will know that I give each of my latest little "lovelies" a name.  Predominantly a female name, but not always.

There are two particular reasons that I chose to do this when I entered the world of high tea stand creations.

1. when I am working with the plates, cleaning , drilling or assembling them, I am more often than not  transported to another time, another place and so the "name" for that stand is born,(so to speak). 

2. I have found that naming each piece helps those who decide to purchase online through the FB page can quickly identify the stand they are interested in by using the name and I remember immediately (well, nearly almost immediately), which one that is being spoken about.  It's a nice way to do business and I love that the plate takes an identity that will be carried on when it is out and about , being seen and being loved by the new owner.

See the link below which will take you to some of my little wonders.

Welcome to my World

Post Numero Uno

This  BLOG is hopefully going to become another vehicle to "deliver" info and photos of my crafting passion (obsession).  lol.

Just in case you swing by this blog and wonder what the %^&^*@#$(^!!!!  this blog is supposed to be about, let me introduce you  . . .to me . . . .

 

My name is Tonia.  I live in Tasmania, Australia

I was born in the 60's when bakelite was replaced with plastic and imperial measurement was replaced with metric.

I fell in love in the late 70's. Married/ had kids in the 80's. Survived teenagers in the 90's. 

I became a MIL during the 00's and  my latest joy has been becoming a GRANDMA (twice so far) in the 10's.

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

I also love chinaware, preloved chinaware, to be acurate. My passion is to give mismatched chinaware  that I source locally a little makeover so that they are transformed from bric-a-brac into unique and useful pieces of table ware,  ready to be loved once more.  

I get a real buzz from creating one off, 2 and 3 tiered high tea stands/cupcake stands, and teacup stands from start to finish. First up by choosing co-ordinated pieces, drilling them by hand and then finally assembling them into newly created high tea/cupcake stands and teacup stands.  I then put them up for sale at markets, fairs and online via my FACEBOOK page of the same name:
