What a fabulous window - wish I could visit the shop but it is a bit far to go me thinks. I voted and it is the best by far.

Rosemary you have a very talented daughter! Seriously, I see her displays and all the lovely things she has in her shop and it makes me want to try harder with papercrafting and she is so enthusiastic! I was only saying on the minis thread the other day that I want to try harder at incorporating my cross stitch into cards after seeing Wanda's lovely ones. I have no excuse knowing I have a great papercrafting shop just around the corner either.......!

Did you know that in the rear of the shop she has cones of Anchor thread which she sells by the metre?

Not sure without Googling it but from memory I think that there are campsites at Hayle, Portreath, Carbis Bay, and St Ives for the beaches but there are probably loads in the more rural areas. Hope you find somewhere good and that you enjoy yourself.

My daughter has asked me to thank you all for your very kind comments and of course your votes. Not sure when the deadline is so I guess there is still time to register your vote if you want to.

I voted...and I have to agree that her window is definitely the best looking one by far! I hope she wins and gets the recognition she so obviously deserves :x:

Thanks again to all of you, you really are stars.

My daughter did not know that her window was in a competition until one of her customers told her about it so she does not know when it ends or anything.

Update on the window competition, I am sorry to say that she did not win, the one in Scotland did so congratulations to the winner. Thanks once again for your efforts on her behalf.

That's a shame!

Still, it's has raised awareness of her lovely shop hasn't it and I hope she gets extra business from that! :thumbsup:

That's a shame, but congratulations to the winner and with the numbers of holidays being planned in Cornwall, hopefully it will nevertheless prove to be good publicity for her, as well as great enabling for us :D
