The Creative Coma.

So much is happening for That Vintage in the coming months, so it is full steam ahead in the studio - yesterday was pendant making day, today it is rings and earrings - plus a few more pendants and brooches.
The repetition of doing the gluing side of things I find relaxing, minus the glue fumes - I'm sipping a cup of T2 French Earl Grey tea and listening to the sounds of Warpaint. There is no need for a "Please Do Not Disturb" sign on my door as it is a well known fact that when the door is shut, hands are busy gluing and making and my mind falls into a creative coma... Oh I love what I do!

Happy Birthday That Vintage.

Four years old tomorrow... a day of love and a day of milestones!
I think it is important to celebrate such events - to acknowledge your love and passion, reflect and look back on where it all began, to create goals and breathe life into future dreams.
When you can create with your hands, your heart and soul will evidently come through in your craft.
I had a miniature celebration, a cup of sweet tea and a cute treat made by The Cupcake Fairy... oh my, it was truly delicious!
The winner of the Single Bird Pendant is Stephanie Arnold - yippee! Thanks to all who have entered the giveaways... there is one more surprise up the birthday sleeve... but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out!
Happy Birthday That Vintage - here's to many more!

My Favourite Cuppa And Brew.

So anyone who knows me and knows me well, knows that I am a complete tea addict. I cannot start my day without a drop of tea - when I am blogging, I have tea; when I am reading a book, I have tea... pretty much anything I do, you'll seem me with some tea. Told you, I'm an addict! And as I duck for cover - you will never find me sipping a coffee... it has and always will be tea!

Since becoming a full blown "adventurous" tea addict, my collection of T2 Tea has grown - in actual fact it has taken over the cupboard which houses all of our tea cups. It'd be safe to say that the types of tea outweigh the tea cups. A brew in which I am completely obsessed with lately is Gorgeous Geisha by T2... a green tea that gives the aroma of strawberries & cream ...delish!
Pictured above is my all time favourite tea cup - "Blue Rainbow" by Royal Albert. I have only drank out of it twice - I feel like it is far too precious to make it a regular sipper... or should I?
