When you work in retail, your shop window is one of your biggest assets - it speaks to passers-by, calling them inside, telling them what they can expect, teasing them with what they can buy.
So the way you dress your window is critical. Your window is there even when you aren't - people driving by at night or walking their dog early in the morning see it and it is therefore one of your biggest opportunities to speak to potential customers.
Over the years Crumbz Craft have enjoyed putting together special seasonal windows, celebrating our craft wins at the Lilydale Show, getting into the festive season with our Christmas window, showcasing vintage dresses from yesteryear - our window display is always a talking point.
So, here they are, a trip back through time through the windows of Crumbz Craft...
