AVOCADO AND PINK

I have just completed this sign for my friend Dawn's new flower business - avocado & pink!   Not content with Custard Pudding, the tearoom and art gallery, that she set up nearly a year ago next door to the One Craft Gallery, she has now opened this new business!  It is being operated from a downstair area of her tearooms - see below.  The flowers are mostly grown in her own garden or are locally sourced.

As with food, there is a growing demand for local, seasonal flowers with a reduced carbon footprint.  Dawn provides fresh-as-a daisy, hand tied arrangements, in beautiful colour combinations and scents, with more than a hint of hedgerow about them!  She also supplies bouquets and flowers for weddings and special events...  Avocado & pink are a delightful addition to Shepton's High Street.

  

CHRISTMAS IN THE HIGH STREET

On my early morning walks I have a good chance to look at all the decorations in the High Street. There are Christmas images everywhere - loads of red and white!  In the middle pic above, I am looking at a reindeer, decorated by my friend Dawn, who owns Custard Pudding - the tearoom and gallery that is next door to the One Craft Gallery, where I exhibit my work.  She bought two plain wood cutout reindeer, painted and decoupaged them, and then hung baubles from the antlers - makes a change from a tree!

Above are some more images from High Street shop windows and look at our street lights.  I reckon they are the best in the area, even though they have an air of frilly knickers about them!!
