Eye Candy

Rose has been busy putting together another amazing window. The secret to putting together an eye catching window, especially when you have a limited selection, is pick a theme and edit. Rose does both of these particularly well. Only the best quality items whether that's a colour or a style theme, in pristine condition picked from behind the scenes at Bute Street make it into the window. These pictures were taken last Sunday morning at 9.30am before the store opened. By the Sunday lunch time the window looked very different. Most of the items were replaced because they had been cherry picked by the early birds !
