Things have been happening in Fierro’s Bakery recently, and Hazel wanted to show you all. Come on, there’s two things I want to show you! First, we’ve got new plates and trays for the glass display case! The wooden trays will also hold things like cupcakes, and the plates at the bottom are for cakes.…… Continue reading What’s Cooking in Fierro’s

Fierro’s Furnishings
Well, the first few furnishings, at least. I’ve made two sets of these tables and chairs for seating in the bakery. In lieu of thin enough wood, I’ve used strips of cardboard to make the chairs (apart from the seats and backrests, which are wood.). The tables have this really cool pink terrazzo top on…… Continue reading Fierro’s Furnishings
Fierro’s Front Counter
The front counter at Fierro’s is complete! We also got a chalkboard menu hung behind the counter, which is fantastic. The plan is to fill the three shelves in the glass cabinet with breads, cakes, and smaller treats at the top. Under the counter has shelves for wayward cash registers and anything else that might…… Continue reading Fierro’s Front Counter
Pink & White Walls
The interior walls of Fierro’s have just been painted with their final coat! Isn’t this shade of pink beautiful? Hazel picked it out herself. I’m quite pleased with how the panelling has turned out – it took a little while, but I definitely think it was worth the effort. We also have the curtain mounted…… Continue reading Pink & White Walls
Project Roundup
The interior walls of Fierro’s have been painted – the pink on top is brighter in person. I have plans to put some fancy details on the walls, so there’s still work to do here. I also bought some new fabric! The two on the left will be the outer and lining of another waistcoat,…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Fierro’s Façade
There’s a new store going in near the Palace Library…. It’s called Fierro’s Bakery, and both Hazel and I are super excited about it! I am so pleased with this front façade; this awning in particular, is 3-D, and I love the stripes. I also painted the shop’s name on the window, to change it…… Continue reading Fierro’s Façade
Project Roundup
My bakery’s front façade is coming along slowly – here we’ve got the exterior brickwork done…. ….and the addition of a window. The plan is to have the name of the bakery painted onto the glass of the window, which will hopefully look really good! I’m also sewing together all the squares for my cushion…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Touring The Palace Library
Hello! It’s Sarah writing here, and I’ll be taking you on a tour of the Palace Library bookstore! Which looks like this: I’ve been helping the owner with the whole setting-up business, and I’ll be doing a few hours a week here now it’s open, so you’ll probably see me around. Let’s go inside! On…… Continue reading Touring The Palace Library
Final Touches
The last few books out of that last box are being unpacked today. “Alright, let’s get these over to the display table…” “….Hmm. I think this display needs re-arranging.” There we go! “Oooh, this one looks interesting…” We’re one week out from opening day now, and everything’s so close to ready! I know I keep…… Continue reading Final Touches
Final Deliveries
The Palace Library has had a few more deliveries recently, one from the book dealers and one from the printers. The owner (me) had a few flyers made to put up around the shop, and they look really good! (The ad for The Ghosts We Keep is from the real-life publishers, the other four were…… Continue reading Final Deliveries
