Love Vintage Show, Canterbury – 14 Sept 2012

Opening Night at The Love Vintage Show – Popped open the Champa’s (thanks Heather/Karen) and chatted to lots of lovely High Tea lovers.
We introduced the Vintage Plate Clock series which was a also success.

The following photos show the winners of ‘Best Dressed Couple’ holding their Cake Stand Prize, ‘Tony the Quiff Man’ (I think he cut Pete’s hair seriously cool!) + friends and new friends on the night!

Love Vintage Show – Day 2

Day 2 was fun, and again we met more lovely customers and High Tea lovers.

Take a look at the photos of friendly Vintage lovers and thank you dear friends who also came and said ‘hi

Spring is finally here…

and I feel the flowers and fruit are just perfect at the moment — as are the patterns in this cake stand!

The Riverview Hotel – High Tea

The Riverview Hotel in Balmain will soon  be having High Tea and have purchased a great selection of cake stands. Can’t wait to go and try. It’s a beautiful building tucked away in Birchgrove road.

Priscilla Stand in INSIDE OUT magazine

INSIDE OUT is one of my favourite magazine, so we were thrilled to be part of their Sept/Oct Issue 2012.
I think it looks great.

Art Deco Stand with 70’s Orange jars

Today was ‘Portuguese Tart’ Day. I teach Art Therapy to some lovely elderly ladies and we served these up on an Art Deco Stand.
They didnt last long! For some reason I think they taste even better served up on a 3 tier stand – much like drinking tea from a tea cup is better tasting than a mug.

Aerial View of Decolata Cake Stands

I popped in to DECOLATA café at Summer Hill this morning and took another photo of stands taken from a different angle. Love that floral top plate on right!

Blue Willow

The ‘Blue Willow’ design (top plate in above photo & middle plate in photo below) is based upon a legend of two lovers who are transformed into lovebirds…
The Willow pattern is a classic landscape design whose classic components include a weeping willow, pagodas, three men on a bridge and a pair of lovebirds forever kissing, all in blue on a white background.
