Do you remember that chandelier shop on Tower Bridge Road? |
For over 2 years we were closing our shop.
We were closing so long that it became funny.
Have you seen the Shopgirl blog trailer?
You know the bit at the end where Blake Harrison
does his cameo:
Blake: Are you closing?
Shopgirl (Katy Wix): Yeah
Blake: Not closing down though?
Shopgirl: Uh, yeah
Blake: But you’ll keep the shop, yeah?
...
Yeah, well, that was supposed to be a joke.
You see, at the end of our closing down sale, we moved
our remaining stock upstairs and a vintage furniture and flag shop moved in
called ‘Lost & Found’.
I suppose I should’ve known that while there were
chandeliers in the building, it was not over.
The other give-away was that our stock kept
growing.
I was working one day a week to help dress
chandeliers for wholesale but not all of those lights left the building.
Most offices are illuminated with grim low energy
lights but ours is heaving with sparkling crystal chandeliers.
In the back of my mind I always knew these lights
would eventually need to find a home.
And now the time has come.
The furniture and flag shop has announced they are
leaving.
That means that there will be an empty shop below
us.
You can guess the next part.
Well, there’s no point in keeping 150 chandeliers
hidden away in an office, is there?
FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY (I’ve heard that before!) from November, the
chandelier shop on Tower Bridge will be making a second appearance.
I don’t think there’s much point changing the shop
name.
‘Lost & Found’ couldn’t be any more
appropriate.
Our Chandelier Showroom
(and yes, that is me trying not to laugh at the end)

Be warned, they are far more beautiful in the flesh.
