Day 11 of the December Photo project: The Victorian Extravaganza window!

DSC_2395

This Friday it's the Victorian Extravaganza evening.
Hungerford will be going back in time.
Helter Skelter, steam engines, mulled wine, marching bands and lots more!
And the Best Dressed Window competition!

We've been meaning to put the window in for the last 2 weeks as we want to win the 1st price this year!
Kay designed the window and has put  a lot of work into it and it looks fantastic!
Last year we made it 3rd, so fingers crossed!

the weird and the wacky!!

 Our little shop is sometimes a little quirky...we like the different....the unusual...the one off...sometimes people come in and can't quite make up their minds as to what exactly we are....sometimes you either get it or you don't.

I am experimenting as to whether poinsettias work as a cut flower, lets face it they are so damned temperamental, a puff of a breeze and they 
1) keel over
2) break their stems
3) shrivel up if slightly cold
Watch this space.




gorgeous turquoise pottery, plus our best sellers at the moment, hurrah for hyacinths!!!


 a new member of the team...we love him with his long eyelashes and curly mane, i expect he'll gallop off soon.



photographing our window is never a success....you will have to come and see it for yourselves...it includes a french angel, an Irish dolls house...a vintage sledge.....a pair of american children's winter white boots, a covering of moss and some twigs, it is our attempt at winning the 'best dressed window' competition on Victorian Extravaganza night this friday...keep your fingers crossed.

finally a rusty metal  urn with a rusty painted horse....and a cyclamen just to show we do sell plants sometimes!!

time flashes by....



..can you believe that christmas is nearly upon us???......Martin has been madly making wreaths.....with a little help from the rest of us...but he is definately the king of wreath makers!!!!

Every one is different  and completely beautiful...as soon as they are hung up outside.....they quickly find their way to another front door........

Tomorrow is the Victorian extravaganza in Hungerford...we have sweets if you can make it and there may be fizz!!!
