My 20th Anniversary Shop Window at Karen Alexandra Beauty, Tonbridge

In January 2025, I finished a very special window display at Karen Alexandra Beauty and Well-Being in Tonbridge: a celebration of twenty years in business.

I had been slowly but surely signwriting the shop window at 2a Avebury Avenue. It was slightly behind schedule, but I was happy to say that was because it had been a wonderfully busy January!

A window to celebrate twenty years

The finished design brought together a big “20”, our founding year of 2005, little stars and a border of flowers and green leaves. It was my way of sharing the anniversary with everyone passing the shop.

Twenty years felt like something worth celebrating. Seeing the words on the window made the milestone feel all the more real.

The lights around the window and the flowers in the planters added to the display. Here is another view of the finished window, with some of the products inside the shop.

Skincare favourites from the anniversary celebrations

The original January 2025 post also featured three Éminence cleansers that were personal favourites of mine. That anniversary promotion has ended, but I have kept the photographs as part of the story. For current product details, follow the links below.

The story behind those twenty years

The anniversary was also an opportunity to look back at how it all began, and at the family, clients and customers who helped shape the business.

You can read the whole story in My Business Journey: all twelve chapters, from a baby and a beauty couch to my shop in Tonbridge.

Thank you so much for reading, and for being part of it.
