Birthday

I had a lovely birthday with beautiful flowers.....










...and a yummy "smörgåstårta" (sandwich cake)
My farm shop is ticking over. More customers now than in Jan'anyway! I now have some more ecco friendly and organic soaps and household cleaners, ecco/fairtrade t shirts etc. The shelves are stocked with chutneys and jams, so it's starting to look busy which I like !
Any advice on unusual things to stock would be great. I read that you should try to suprise your customer...maybe I should hide behind the door and when they come in, jump out and say "BOO!" ?

Beautiful birthday flowers and what an amazing sandwiche cake. Glad to hear the farmshop is looking good and getting busy.
Thankyou, it was a lovely surprise to hear from you, I have it ready to post tomorrow.
We are enjoying such lovely sunny days and I have been out all afternoon walking and making the best of it while it lasts. Going to relax and do some drawing now.
Best wishes Eileen

Happy Birthday, the flowers are wonderful and I have never seen a sandwich cake before. Glad things are going well with the farm shop. Captain Rupert liked your comment about his stamp and your carrots, he rather likes the fact his on a stamp. His been sulking today and ate by plant on my window sill in protest to being home alone all weekend.

Poor Captain Rupert ! Hope he didn't get tummy ache from the plant. There is nothing worse than a sulky pet !

Happy Birthday and all the best, Ellie, from me, too!!!
...maybe you could surprise your customers with a cup of tea (maybe from hand plucked herbs from your garden-should be a project for next summer);-))

Thankyou Claudia, I really like that idea ! I have a rather messy herb garden, but I hope to get some order into it in the Spring ! I love the idea of herbal teas etc. Take care
