Amy and I love creating our window displays. And during the week of the Saffron Walden Maze Festival, my lovely Saturday helpers Leanne and Lucy helped to make a Maze out of sweets for the Shop Window decorating competition. We used fizzy apple strips as grass, rainbow strips weaved to make a picnic blanket and quite a few Bertie Bassetts (and their dog, fudge) and as you can see they are all having a picnic from their very own Sweet Shop hamper! We then created a maze to look like the famous and oldest turf maze in the Country, which is on the Saffron Walden Common. We used long cola whips and chocolate crumbs and of course more of the Bertie Bassetts trying it out. And as you can see from the certificate, we WON! We were all thrilled and so happy to have the recognition. And what's more, we were on the front page of the Walden Local

Once the Maze Festival week was over we couldn't wait to create the next display ready for when all the children went back to school. In proper Sweet Shop style we created a vintage "back to school" display using all sorts of old school sports equipment and school photos. Luckily, a good friend of mine has lots of her old school equipment including her first satchel, lacrosse stick, old books and photos. It's certainly caused a stir and lots of people have been putting their heads round the door to say how much they love it.
The next display is going to be for our Sweet Shop sponsored football team - The Saffron Rangers!Watch this (window) space .....................
