Spring has sprung at Cable and Cotton
March 25th, 2013
Despite the recent cold snap Cable and Cotton have started to welcome in the lighter evenings with a new shop window display.
Courtesy of illustrator Jessie Ford who designed the window mural herself, we have decided to go for a much bolder and eye-catching display with cute birds, abstract flowers, colourful wooden bunting and even a raincloud to symbolize those April showers!
The colours we have used for the lights which we think compliment the Springtime theme perfectly are; Bright Yellow, Pale Blue, Flash Pink, Pure White and Bright Orange.
Please visit www.sugarsnapstudio.co.uk for more examples of Jessie’s work.
