Up next in this series of posts looking at the seasons in the shop, is Summer. Warm and hazy Summer.  The shop doors open wide and the sound of Billy Holiday flooding out in to the street.  

Fresh and dried flowers play a big part in our Summer displays. Plenty of glass and light fresh fabrics fill the shop. 

Vintage greens and turquoises feature heavily in the shop year round but perhaps slightly more through the Summer months. We love those colours!!

Many sunny iced coffees and ice creams are enjoyed on the bench throughout Summer. Productivity might go down slightly...

Mellow, dusty tones feature heavily. We like to set the scene for long, hot Summer lunches and balmy suppers in the garden.

This French peach garden set will always be remembered. A true beauty!

And as the days get shorter and nights a little chillier we look to some darker colours and slightly cozier homeware. Lamps, cushions and heavy stoneware start to make their way into the shop. Is that Autumn I see?...

Here at Closet and Botts we love the seasons. The shop changes drastically throughout the year as we move through the four season. I am going to do a series of blog posts capturing the shop in each season. The first one I will cover, and my personal favorite, is Spring.

Spring flowers and bulbs bring colour and scent to the shop. Lots of coloured enamel and glass, plus the first signs of items for the garden. Old watering cans and flower pots. Isn't Spring the most promising season of all?...

Coffee sat in the street as the days start warming. We do most of our planning sat out there. Morning meetings in the sun are much more productive.

The Easter table. Yellow candles, Daffodils and Egg cups. We love being part of our customers seasonal celebrations. Hearing your plans and supplying you with the components to create a lovely Easter day brings us lots of joy.

And as Spring starts to warm in to Summer the colour palette changes and dried flowers start to fill the shop.....
