Do you know Jan...I really enjoyed that walk around your village shops. Isn't it wonderful that they all join in the festive spirit. Just magical!

When i was a girl my mum used to take us round to the little village next to ours, it had a butchers, bakers, flower shop, a bank, and they used to put tiny christmas trees on top of the doorways and have 1 large one in the street, the florist always dressed their window according to the season, now sadly its all take aways and empty units, its a shame, thats all you need, some good old fasioned christmas displays, not a laser light show with fluff and sparkles all over!! take care xx

Thank you for sharing your shop windows. How pleasant it must be to browse there. I noticed the little mice in one picture and they looked so real. It's so nice they all go together with a theme. 'On Ya'-ma

Loved them all, Jan, especially the makeover at the accountants. Do you think they worked out that it didn't `attract' VAT?

Did you know that in the original french story the slipper was fur but it got lost in translation to glass...I really can't imagine a fur slipper at all...The windows are fab :o) Hope your christmas pressie making is coming on good xxx

Oh, how pretty! If we had such beautifully decorated shop windows, I would certainly be in the Christmas spirit. There is a small town about an hour north of here that does have beautiful shops and windows. It's been a few years since I've been there. Not many towns in the states left that are like that. Thanks for sharing, Jan...lovely! xx

Marie Rayner said...
