I don't think we said much other than "yeah we know what we're doing", then my friend distracted her asking for prints of Soho, which she didn't have. Sounds like we got her on one of her more pleasant days. I might start taking people round there to wind her up. I do have a massive crush on Bernard Black... he ruined my retail skills, when I used to work in a shop I was often rude, but with good reason, nothing like the crazy woman of Cecil Court.<br />Love your brooch.... it looks fiddly however... xxxxMiss Simmonds Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655954003085670507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126878015817020943.post-73281053992324030252012-06-27T22:56:10.782+01:002012-06-27T22:56:10.782+01:00They say that bad service and experience spread fa...They say that bad service and experience spread faster by work-of-mouth than good ones, so that shop must be the talk of all who have visited.<br /><br />The brooch is charming, thanks for linking to the instructions.

I have never had that experienced before and hoping it will not ever happen. Sounds like a mentally ill person or something. Whenever we go on a trip somewhere I always like to google it first and see what the comments are about the place and stuff, so I kind of have an idea what to expect. hahahaha... :) Anyway, glad you mae it out there in one peice though.

I had a little google and there are companies that make odd sized candles. Gawd knows how much you'd end up paying for those though.I think some places even make them to fit the size you want... there's an idea, try making your own! There must be a way, I know I wouldn't be able to do it but you might, you're ever so good at fiddly stuff. It's annoying when things are made that don't fit standard sizes though. I have a candle holder thing, (my mate laughed when I bought it and said it would be something she would be trying to get rid of. She knows nothing,) and I've never bought a candle yet that sits in the holders without leaning all the place over as if it's been on a good night out.<br />Good luck anyway, I'm sure you'll find some.<br />xMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770551694049478266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126878015817020943.post-71889571552624306462012-06-27T08:39:10.925+01:002012-06-27T08:39:10.925+01:00Oh golly!
