Nowrooz: the preparations…

Our as yet nameless fish. Twitter naming competition to follow.

Sabzeh – wheat sprouts. Mrs. Shopkeeper talks to it to make it grow faster…

Our resident mermaid straightens her headscarf ready for immersion.

Haftsin. As you haft never sin it before. Lol. With added plastic swans.

Haji Firooz. Aka the world’s most politically incorrect dancing toy.

Just thought we’d bring you a little gallery of what we’ve been up to in the last few days. ‘Cos really the shop is starting to look jolly pretty. You can find out more about Nowrooz – the Persian New Year – here. Don’t forget, if you are celebrating the New Year but live outside London we can post you almost everything you need (no, not goldfish). Just give us a call.
