Christmas Update

Every time I go to the shop I take a box or two of things....  there's so much there now that I'm running out of space, so I think I can't take anything else.

I've put new stuff in the window...

Window 2

...including some tea cosies...

I've added more stuff to the Welsh Dresser...

...and the French Dresser (Vaisselier)...

... and hung more things from the beams.

In fact, after I took this photo I hung up some more bunting!

All I need now are the customers!

December Update

Gosh - December already!  I can hardly believe it.  Anyway...

Today was NOT busy - in fact, one of the most NOT busy days I've had!  A few people came in, and made lovely comments, but no-one bought anything!

I decided I would do a bit of housekeeping - vacuum the carpet, move things around a bit, change the window...

Somehow, I think it looks a bit boring...

I moved the doll in the high chair further into the shop...

...and the clothes horse with the linen on to a different area of the shop...

Now there's more space in the front area of the shop, which I hope will encourage people to come and look round.

Boxes of Delights

I've been unpacking some of the boxes from England and found some Kaffe Fassett Colourscape yarn.  I decided it would make a pretty, warm, ripple knee blanket...
