Wooden Crates

I've been making some wooden crates for the fruit section of my Italian store. (This project is never-ending!) I think I've made enough to make a new fruit stall.

It's snowing here in the east coast! I just hope we get to enjoy spring before it gets hot!

Cheese Display

Although my italian store still needs some finishing touches, one thing for sure is that it has enough cheese in stock! 

My favorite is the mozzarella....so simple yet so delicious.

If you are a store owner and need more cheese, you know who to call :)

Fruits and Desserts

I finally made some progress on the "other" side of the shop. I made a veggie/fruit stall and displayed chocolate and pasta on the top shelves.

 I also added some vintage posters to the walls.

I still need to make cannolis and add a cash register...but who knows when I'll get to that!

More cheese...

Thank you everyone for the wonderful suggestions! I have 2 windows, so I will be displaying cheese and meat in one, and bread, fruits and desserts in the other.

I still need to make mortadella to add to my meats. Has anyone tried it? I always get the italian sub without it since the color doesn't seem too appetizing...

I also hung some chorizo near the window display. (The shelf on the back looks awfully short! I will have to stack it up with more cheese.)

These are some grapes I made to display in my 2nd window, but look how the colors turned out. The two in the back are from my first batch and the color is very fake compared to the one in the front. So sad!!

Please help me choose my store name. I am thinking of "Geppetto's" or "Figaro's"- which one do you like better?
