Life in the Village

After getting through a great Christmas and settling into village life Sweet Tooth have entered 2010, a brand new year and exciting time.

We are getting to know our neighbours including 'Brixton Cornercopia' a deli serving a mean lunch menu and own brand chutney's, sauces using locally source produce, 'Leftovers', a shop with antique fashions and vintage finds, also fish mongers, hairdressers and others.

See the Village's launch night's video here.

Jenny's Jams

On our shelves you will find Jenny's wonderful jams, marmalades and chutneys.

Launch Night

In all the excitement, we forgot to take photos of our opening. But did manage to take a few featuring the cameraman and interviewer who were filming for the night. Here's one of them tucking into a 'Dip Dab'.

Sweet Tooth...the sweetie shop...

The decision has been made to go with Sweet Tooth... very excited. We are just now planning the shop layout, researching, visiting factories, having fun selecting candy, tasting chocolate from Canada and Japan and of course working very hard. We will be open in 2 weeks time!!
