Getting ready for Valentines Day - Flowers anyone???

I recently asked Julie to make a shop front to fit in the corner between the shops but it turned out so well I decided to make it into a house and put it in the corner next to Lavender cottage and I asked her to make me another one that had a bigger window for a shop. The plan for the original one had been for a pub hence the smaller window but we decided to go with a flower shop instead as it would be more fun to change the window displays with the seasons. The new one arrived today and is just fabulous!!! It fits perfectly into the space and with the big shop window its perfect for displaying lots of lovely things.

The shop signs as usual made by Bethany although we had so many arguments over this name!! notice the phone number? its her date of birth :-)

I just love the whole effect and it brings an otherwise boring corner alive!

At the moment the window is all set for Valentines Day. Bob and Luigi are sure to be tempted to keep their lovely ladies happy!!

Upstairs I wanted to try and put a light inside to show of the wonderful window/doors so I made a little plinth on the inside and attached the light and the curtains. Its such a small thing a light but it brings the whole thing to life!!

I decided to use the Daffodil name plaque that arrived a couple of days ago as always made by Julie Lawton. Its one of my most favourite ever and thought it just had to go on this house as the colour matched so nicely, its just so pretty.

Eve the owner already has her first customer! A lovely bouquet of flowers for delivery in Quayside. Word has it they are for Angela but its not her Birthday so who on earth could they be from????
