Looe in Full Swing

We are now into the first week of August and Looe is packed with holiday makers and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. Last Saturday was the final day of Looe Carnival week with the procession taking place from Hanafore down along West Looe quay and into the streets of East Looe. The weather was glorious and there was hardly a standing place to be found. It was a great evening and a wonderful atmosphere and a fitting finale to a great carnival week.

The Looe shop window has been given another make over and we have tried to include a range of the toys to be found inside. It is not a big shop and I think a lot of people are surprised when they do come in to see the selection of toys that we keep from Babies Teethers and Mobiles right up to Suduko and Scrabble and also a lovely range of Musical Instruments.

Our selection of traditional wooden toys is expanding all the time and I think one of the best sellers is the wooden Noah's Ark complete with Noah, his Wife and seven pairs of delightfully painted animals. The front of the Ark lifts up for the animals to be placed safely inside.

In the front of the window is our ever popular Red Fire Engine pedal car and with 2 sold this week is outstanding value for money, but check out the new models that we are now stocking including Le Mans retro style pedal cars, a must for any potential racing car driver in your house!

Do come and look in our window and make some time to come in and browse and I would be amazed if you cannot find what you are looking for, well within reason. I was once asked if we sold tea towels by an elderly lady and I had to say unfortunately we did not, to which she replied " oh but you are a toy shop and I thought you would". Anyway, to everyone who might be on holiday or live around the corner pop in and see what you can remember from your childhood days.
