Side View!

My frogs are done so I have added the finishing touches and here it is, the first complete display, for sherbert and candies!
This is the corner display for the right hand side of the shop, it fits against my large double unit and the single Bertie Botts will fit in next to its left side.

The sherberts are all in tiny gold topped glass dispensers with little gold levers that when turned to the left dispense the colour you want into the Honeyduked labelled jars below.

Lets just say it took some fiddly work to get this completed, and Im hoping it all stays glued in place as it took me an age to get it to hang this way!

On top of the cabinet are several Harry Potter themed candies. There is a shelf lined with paper of the Honeydukes logo .

Candies include, 'Ice Mice' 'Pink Coconut Ice', 'Acid Pops', ' Fizzing Whizbees Bars' little shop display boards for Chocolate , and a Bertie Botts Bean flavour chart. A Fudge Flies and Peppermint Toad display board, and further jars of liquorice wands, rhubarb and custard sweets and more fizzy sherberts .

There are some tiny chocolate frogs and little Hermione and Dumbeldore candy boxes.
On top of the cabinet I made little lollipop displays with pink candy canes, and a cellaphane wrapped candy in the middle. Lots more superglueing fingers together for that bit!

All the tall cabinets will have this lollipop display on top of them so they will go around the room! Again, an idea 'borrowed' from the Universal cabinets but in my own colours and style

I am really  pleased with this first display, and even more excited  about the next, the Bertie Botts bean Display which Im hoping to complete soon.
It came together just as I imagined it should look, hope you like it just as much!
Now, the front is no where finished, the paint needs ageing, the windows need more work, Ive lost the acetate for one of the windows and the front doors need putting on, but just had to show you my daughter Emily's fantastic work on the front signs!

Im useless on the PC so she measured with me, and came up with this sign that runs the length of the shop front! I love it, its the perfect green on a soft pink and the lettering stands out beautifully!

We need a gutter maybe above the centre sign, and the top wooden part is going to be dripping with snow that just slightly overhangs the sign!

Im eager to get it finished but Ive also promised Emily that if she helped me out Id help her make a start on her Castle walls, so thats the plan for next week. I cant get on just yet with the Bertie display as Im waiting on things for it, so onto a different project as a break for a few days.
Once we have some progress with that Ill be back with a vengeance to completing more of the exterior and the cabinets inside!!
Thanks to Emily too for taking these brill pics as my camera is so rubbish!

He he Im so pleased you like it, cos when your Sugar plums is ready for filling I have an idea for something for a wall display Id love to do for you. Once I know your colours etc Im really looking forward to making you something....if youd like of course! Your welcome anytime too you know that!!! That way you can do my exteriors he he! Emilys sign is cool, her first! We were going to do dry brushing of dark green on it like the real thing but in trials it looked wrong so we are keeping it fresh looking. Bertie Botts will be soon, I love it so far, so hoping the rest goes to plan! Thankyou for your lovely comments! xxx
And now because of you I am in need of something sweet to eat!! Love it! The colours are fantastic!
Great, because that is so the effect I want to achieve , colourful and mouth watering sweets . Its going to get a whole lot fuller, want it brimming with candy! xx
You are most welcome, you have well and truly earned them!
Well I'd be most honoured to have lots of commissions made by you! Any ideas etc., welcomed for sweets and displays because I have...well none! lol
