Day 9 of the December photo project

A French sash window. 

A day late.

Apologies.

Champagne.

Don't mind if I do!

countdown...

Today is so cold the dutchman has kept his hat on....he is happy because he's on his third coffee and there are bouquets to make...

10am....'its one week to valentines day and the window is still not sorted' he says.....

....note at 4pm today we decide to do the valentines window which means totally re-arranging the shop, which means as soon as you are in total chaos we have a constant stream of customers and we have to apologize a lot.......

..we have colour related different areas..this is the copper.brass and stoneware section.......by 5.30 we had to have wine.....the window has a bench, a birdbath and a hundred marble hearts..tomorrow i may get more pictures.....and more wine.. xx

Fancy a cuppa?

We've started the year fresh.

Everything Christmas related is gone.

Changed the shop around.

Changed the window.

Time for a cuppa....

Erm.....has anyone seen the cups and saucers??

Our Week in Photos

The hedgerow are showing off their beauty...planted cyclamen in wire baskets smell divine, and are proving to be a firm favorite with our customers.

Pale Greens, and clear french glass inkwells, perfect for a single bloom, ivy or even holly lined down the Christmas table.

New festive Aubergine bags styled ready for the beautiful florals

Perfect dreamy scented Paperwhites fill the whole shop with the smell of spring...they are early, like most flowers and plants this year.

Honesty and pale white roses make an inviting wreath.

Our window display doesn't stay around for long, most of this is now sold, everyone is preparing their homes for the season

We have a rather beautiful angel ready for our window...isn't she stunning?

The ripening berries point to it being another hard winter...I hope you all have bird tables full to the brim with food!

Another creature not quite ready for winter...Bob is happy on his chair in a nice warm house, even the lead jangling is not getting his attention!

Are you getting prepared for the season? What are your plans? Are you having a real tree?

A Christmas with a bump...but without sloe gin and pate....hows a girl to survive?

New and old...

We've filled the shop with some lovely new vintage-y bits and bobs!

Mirros, windows, bookcases, chairs, post boxes.... come and have a look for yourself!
