Easter minis and Baguettes

I've been working on a special order for Easter goodies. The colorful mini on the bottom left are piles of jelly beans (just in case you were wondering!).

I also have a cheese board order and this is what I have so far.

Figaro's

I need to update you on some new additions to the italian shop. I decided to go with "Figaro's" since it has 2 less letters than Geppetto's :-) Thank you to everyone who voted!

I made the store sign, but unfortunately it will have to be re-done (long story). I am thinking of a darker wood color than the black background. What do you think? I also added a "We are open" sign.

I also put price tags on the olives and fruits. Still need to make some for the cheese and meats.


Since I don't know how to make wine bottles (yet), I made boxes of wine instead. How slick is that? My husband says it's cheating...

I also have bottles of San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. Do you recognize the silver cans? If not, I don't blame you...those are "illy" coffee tins. Not very happy with them, but at this point, I really don't care. 

Last big addition to the shop is fresh pasta! I shooed away the bakery items and installed a pasta rack and a prep table. Still need to make some more...

It looks like this shop will be opening in 2013...at least before the next Winter Olympics... I hope!

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?
