Better late than never...


I hope you'll all forgive me as I'm running a little behind with the post that I was going to do over Easter...But I thought that you would of all liked to see the Easter window that I did in the shop, even though its probably a little over due!..Hence the 'better late than never'!!

I have had a great time in the shop since Easter, there has been a constant flow of customers, it has given me back my enthusiasm and people have been so nice, making lovely comments about the way it looks and how much they love everything, it has given me a well needed push and confidence boost to start putting in a bit more effort (I always become a little sluggish over the winter months).
I have been working non stop trying to keep the shop well stocked and looking pretty, so please do excuse my absence as I don't seem to of had a chance to get to the computer!
I'm positive this absolutely gorgeous weather we seem to be having has had a huge effect on everyone, it seemed to turn into spring over night, I hope your enjoying it as much as I am!!
I hope to get the chance to have a catch up with some of your blogs over the next few days, thank you so much for all the lovely comments you made about my new chest of drawers, I have been feeling incredibly smug!

well girls, I'm going to have to go...I'm afraid this post is going to be short and sweet, lots of things to do....I hope you are all well and happy, I'll leave you with some pics of the 'Easter' shop window.

With love and hugs...Jennifer xxxx

Hi there have just trawled back to your old posting about the green chairs decision. If you look on my blog my table and chairs have just been delivered and I am thinking of asking the shop if they can repaint them in cooking apply green or perhaps something a little more taupe - they just look a bit clinical - thoughts??

I've just found your blog. Love the blue paint on the front of your shop, what is the colour called, may I ask? Have enjoyed visiting here, simply lovely, I have added you to my list of faves too. Thanks for sharing.

aline said...

I think you have exquisite taste. May I ask what colour paint is on the walls in your beautiful bedroom?

Gladrags said...

The shop is looking wonderful, it is a real credit to you. Now that you and Clive have moved from the cottage and back in with Dad it should free you up to really make a good go of it. We wish you all the success you both deserve.
