...look all around. It's very hard to resist. I had to add in that extra one. We are on a visit to a sweet shop after all.
When you get out of the car and look up, you'll see a bright candy pink oasis in a street full of furniture shops and pharmacies. Creep a little closer, lean on the window sill and look down for a first glimpse of what you might find inside. You may try, but you won't be able to stop yourself looking up again and peering past your cold breath on the window, looking, looking to the lights flickering right at the back of the shop where the magic is made. Push the door and the bell will signal your arrival.
Now you may look around. It's alright: we've got plenty of time. But mind your teeth: those toffee bonbons carry quite a chew!
We've been shopping for a few local treats to put into Christmas parcels; and that has given me a nice chance to join in today with
Helena's Creative Maven as I Look Up, Look Down. Thanks Helena!
That looks like a fabulous place to visit! :D

ReplyDeleteoh my..my favourite type of shop. I would be pounds lighter (or should i say heavier) if i visited one of these x
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Both the goods and the photos :)
ReplyDeletenever mind up and down, I'd be looking left and right as well! Oh that is my kind of a shop ... did they have 'shrimps'? Or banana and custards?
ReplyDeleteooh pineapple chunks and cola cubes. That's a blast from the past

ReplyDeleteYou just don't see sweet shops like that anymore on a regular basis, do you? Lucky you to have one near by.
