Windsor 2004
Signing Specials

From Marilyn in November 2004, with ceramics added on 3rd December 2006:

Talents’ store consists of three rooms on different levels. The highest of these has the entrance on Church Street. This photo was taken from the passage between this and the middle room, where most of Signing Specials were displayed.	Placing orders in the Lower Room with its entrance from Market Street. On the left is Joy Seward and her husband from Sidmouth - on a honeymoon in Windsor second time around. And a picture of Marilyn’s backside - thank you, Chris!

Remembering the ‘feeding frenzy’ at John English Gifts last year when everyone arrived together from Fortnums, I made a few suggestions which resulted in a system of tear-off tabs on the wall. Each tab gave the name, number and price of the item, whether it was in stock, on display or had to be ordered. You could either tear off a tab from the top or a number of your choice. This meant that all available information was in one central place, accessible to assistants and collectors.
