Of Mice And Museum

 These were the mice I made two years ago for our local Museum

This year the theme is Sport In  Dereham, so the mice are all wearing hats and scarves in support of Dereham Football Club, aka The Magpies. 

Katie has planned a new trail and more mousey mayhem for the summer. Bishop Bonner's Cottage Museum opens today for the summer season.

Well done to all the team at Dereham Heritage Trust. 

In other news, our next door neighbours have discovered mice in their loft. Cornerstones is semi detached. I'm hoping these little creatures don't get through into our space! I do not want them nibbling through my new wallpaper books!

Bonnie The Mouse even got a mention on the BBC Radio Norfolk breakfast show on Wednesday! 

The Customer Is Always Right...

 ...In Matters Of Taste.

People usually forget the ending of the quote from Harry Gordon Selfridge, the American business magnate, who opened his huge London store on Oxford Street in 1909.

Here is Samuel Bonner, who runs the little shop next to the Museum. He is very neat and tidy, always wearing a collar and tie, and his shopkeeper's apron, as he stands behind the counter. 

Samuel would not dream of stocking anything which could be considered in 'poor taste'. Quality, Honesty and Good Value are Sam's guiding principles.

None of that "Pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap" here! Samuel knows that his customers are not only people of good taste, but wise shoppers who look after their pennies. They can trust him to supply good merchandise at fair prices.
