Exactly 1 week ago, I was told that my little puzzle shop, which is located in a backyard in Anna Queens Stræde 5a, has been nominated for the City's Best Specialty Shop in Helsingør.
It is absolutely fantastic and also quite overwhelming. Many thanks to everyone who voted for my little shop full of beautiful puzzles from floor to ceiling. The support has been absolutely overwhelming from the start and I have received so many positive comments and emails from customers and visitors.
It's the first nomination for anything in my life, so you can imagine how surprised I was when I found out. Of course, I know very well that my shop is really special, because it is actually Denmark's only puzzle shop. Imagine that it is located in a backyard in Helsingør.
Every day I have lots of nice customers visiting the shop, who are either just looking or genuine puzzle enthusiasts looking for their next challenge. The experience in my puzzle shop is different in many ways, and everyone who enters the shop says so.
Firstly, the shop is really small. In just 38 m2, it is jam-packed with puzzles from almost all over the world with anything from 3 to 13,200 pieces. There are puzzles for the youngest children and the most seasoned puzzle enthusiasts.
Partly, the shop is located in a very old half-timbered building in the nicest courtyard, and entering the courtyard and seeing the flowers, the many crooked roofs and old houses is a great experience for many visitors to Helsingør.
Because this is what Helsingør can do: offer a real old-fashioned city atmosphere, where you can feel the city's soul in every little street and every little strait. And that is exactly why I chose to open my shop in Helsingør.
Thanks again for the many votes, which were absolutely decisive for this great nomination. On 23 October, it's serious, because the nominees will be voted on, and I of course hope that my little puzzle shop will get another chance there. Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers x
