Diamond Jubilee Open House
We'll be sampling tea and biscuits, and we'll have the best selection of Jubilee merchandise this side of the pond. Shop early, because the first 100 people to spend a minimum of $10 win a free GOODIE BAG (one per family, while stocks last.) Come in and have your picture taken with the Queen (as represented by our lifesize cardboard cutout), sign the Memory Book we'll be sending to Buckingham Palace, and watch some of the images from her life.
