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!

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!

Fires Markets

November 2, 2018 /

Today is the day of Fairs, Brocanters in the Placa Sant Felieu, Artisans and Crafts down through the Barri Vell, Artists and Photographers in Placa de Vi and down the Ramblas, Vintage and clothing down Santa Clara. Food and drink in Placa Independencia and Placa de Jutjats.

I haven’t recorded much, so many people and I’ve done everything in monochrome because the day started off so atmospheric and there was a gothicy kind of buzz to the morning.
