Broken China Jewlery from Heirloom China

Recently, a customer stopped in with an heirloom cup that was her mother's. The cup was broken. The customer knew we sold broken china jewelry at Fancy That's Shoppe. She wondered aloud, if we could do anything with the cup. her wish would be for four pieces that she could give as a Holiday Present to her sister, and three neices.

Well, even WE were surprised at how well the artist did with the cup! Take a look at the pictures below! All of these wonderful pieces, some strung with fresh water pearls, some with decorative clasps, all came from the vintage, heriloom cup.









If you have an heirloom that you would like made into such a wondeful keep-sake, for a present, or for your own personal remembrance, let us know. It takes about four (4) to six (6) weeks once we receive your china for the vintage piece to become a stunning piece of jewelry. Call toll free 1-888-32-32-TEA (1-888-323-2832) or email us. We are happy to re-purpose heirlooms, and happy to continue the tradition of sharing such awesome pieces of beauty.


Thanks for stopping by!

What to do with your Grandmother's Tea Cups - Fancy That consigns!

If you are asking yourself what are you going to do with your Grandmother's tea cups, maybe you should consider an adoption service. Well, that's what we like to call our consignment service! :) Fancy That's Shoppe, selling gifts of tea and whatnot, now consigns fine china. We cannot tell you how many people have called or come into our Shoppe and asked if we would give their Nana's cup or cups a good home. Of course, we are always happy to immediately adopt - we have never met a vintage piece of china that we haven't liked!

We gladly accept individual cups and saucers, collections, or tea sets. The pieces must have no chips, cracks, crazing or "flea bites" (those nastly little dings that you can feel when you run your finger around the edge of the saucer). Our percentage is 30%. We "foster" the china for about 60 days depending on your request and the time of the year. We may "foster" longer if your china does not sell right away, may lower the price a little (with your permission), or may call you to come pick the little tykes back up (we ARE still talking china here folks!).

So now you have a place to go when you are confronted with that nagging question: what am I GOING TO DO with Nana's tea cup collection. Fancy That consigns! (call toll free for more info 1-888-32-32-TEA)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hand Knitted Fingerless Gloves

Every once in a while, something so special comes across our desk that we feel like we need to tell the world. Well World, here it is! A dear friend of ours knits these wonderful wrist cuffs / fingerless gloves and wondered if we would be interested in selling some in our Shoppe. What do you think we told her? :)



From wonderfully Victorian colors, like the green and rose in the first picture, to these warm vanilla-like colors, each pair that she creates is more lovely than the last!




Yes, we ship :)
