Thankyou Donna
Yesterday, I set off for the shops,with my shopping trolley and camera,it struck me as odd ,there was nothing happening in the shop window Lavender Blue ,except some rather nice flower vases ,and other assorted goodies ,the man stood at the door way ,and was ,obviously aware of my puzzled look ,'Are you the lady who takes the pictures ?'Itold him yes ,he said 'dont take a picture of the window like that ,those are a few items we are selling off ,before I do the wedding window'....Oh ''THE WEDDING WINDOW ''I will most certainly be having a look at that and be sharing,meanwhile he kindly ,let me take some pictures inside ,what an Alladins cave ,everywhere you look there are such delightful displays ,I bought a couple of plants (Ifelt I should !)a forget- me-not,and an Aubrietia ( like yours Jean )When I got home I had great fun planting them when I started to dig,Kizzie so wanted to help dig the hole ! Maurice is at work today ,and I have some nice lamb to make for dinner tonight ,I see the mint I grew last year ,is doing realy well ,contained in its pot ,so I will make some mint sauce too.
I hope you all have a blessed Sunday,with love and
Jan xx

Aww - well done Jan - lovely pics, so clear too.
Now if I had gone to the Saturday Market, as I usually do (and a look around the Charity Shop) I may have found you sitting on that bench!
Looking forward to the Wedding display.

Jan, what a treasure chest in that shop! I could spend hours in there. In our town, we have a similar store that sells new things and the most gorgeous antiques for a good price. I wish they would do their windows like your Lavender Blue. I'm looking forward to the wedding window. Have a lovely Sunday. Love xx Chris
That stuff is so pretty. It would make you almost afraid to browse through, afraid you would knock something off and break it. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the new flowers. Helen
Jan that is an Aladin's cave would love to go in there and have a look at it all ~ Look forward to seeing "THE WEDDING WINDOW" ~ wasn't it good of him to let you take photographs inside ~ Ally
I love going in Lavender Blue especially at the beginning of January when they sell off the xmas decs cheap lol.

Hi Jan what a lovely entry and such lovely things to be seen in Lavendar Blue,how kind of the man to let you take photos inside ,he must have watched you before taking photos .Like everyone else has said looking forward to the Wedding Display.It certainly is an Alladins cave .Is that the bench we sat on when I visited you .You have done better than me as I haven't planted my Aubrietias yet,hoping when I do they will spread in the borders.....With Love Jeanxx
As I have said before Jan, it is so nice to see the proof of someone interested in what they are doing that shop is testement to that. have a lovely day. Love Joan.

I would love the shop you go too. It was always one of my dreams to own such a place and to do some crafting that I could sell too. Just a dream. Meanwhile I love to browse and oh and ah...when I get the chance. It is beautiful and sunny here once more. We have spear mint , peppermint and cat mint in the garden here. I love the smells and when I need a lift I just pick and leaf and scrunch it in my hand...heavenly. 'On Ya' - ma
Very nice! :o) I wish we had little shops like that around here! I'd be in them looking around all the time! So many beautiful things! ;o) Thank you for sharing. ;o)

Hi Jan,
what a lovely shop that is. I would love to visit one day I am sure I would find whatever it is I don't need there !!!! Glad you were able to enjoy a wee sit and watch the world go by thats what life is about. Hasn't the weather been glorious this week. Much Love Sybil xx
That`s the kind of shop you could spend hours in! I love it hope you`ve had a good Sunday.

Love Lynne xx
tHE SHOP LOOKS MAGICAL, MY FAVORITE KINDS OF SHOPS.Beckie.xx
That is a lovely store!! I'd spend WAY too much money in there I'm sure! That owner is going to have to give you some money for advertising, because at this rate he is sure to get some overseas shipping business! LOL!
Sounds like you had a lovely morning! And I look forward to seeing the "Wedding Window." I'm sure it's going to be breathtaking!
Hugs...Pam xoxoxox
I would love to own a shop like that! thanks for sharing the pics..

This is a beautiful shop Jan afraid the type once I get insdie I never know when to come out LOL Lovely snaps you have taken.I think that guy must wait for you to come along Haaaa.he maybe thinks it's good advertising for his buisness if you tell him the snaps are for your journal.Hpe you enjoyed your Lamb dinner my favourite is lamb.Mmmmmmm.Haaaa I had to laugh at Kizzy wanting to dog the hole,he'll probably dig a few before you know it lol.Looking forward to the wedding display.Take care God Bless.

The shop looks very nice and I'm sure the wedding window will be worth waiting for. Good thing you have a helper like Kizzie to assist with digging the holes for your plantings, LOL! How nice it must have been to make mint sauce with mint leafs you grew in your own garden. Great job with the picture3s!
Sam

That sounds like a really nice way to spend your day. Thanks for letting us see and hear about it. My Regards, Bill.
Lamb with mint sauce ~ can I come round and join you next time ;-) I love roast lamb. Bless Kizzie wanting to help dig a hole. Great photos. Can't wait to see the wedding window.
Jenny
Oh my, just look at all those goodies. That would be paradise for me but I would be totally penniless after a trip there. What a place, would love to visit.

What a cute little shop! How do you make Mint Sauce? What is it used for? Here we put mint jelly on lamb roast.
Hugs, Kathy
Jan I'm loving your new bike :) and I could spend hours in that shop picking things up and examining.
That's an adorable picture of Kizzie, I'd be forever playing with her, wouldn't get nothing done. Rache
How kind of the man to let you take all those wonderful photos to show us.

Hi Jan, I'm back! I love the photos of the shop, it must take an age to set everything out in there! Yes, dogs do like to help if they see a hole being dug! Hope you enjoyed the roast lamb and gave Kizzy some too! Jeannette xx
Thankyou for sharing pics of our favourite shop, nice to see inside too! I would love to mosey around there but enjoy my 'virtual' tour as well! lol Looking forward to the wedding window...Linda xx
