Handbill for the Apothecary Shoppe

My Dear Friends,

As you know, Mrs. Marley and her husband have taken up the lease of the Apothecary shoppe. The grand opening shall be on the 1st August and I beg you will rally around our new proprietress and make the day a memorable one for her. Handbills are to be printed and a notice shall appear in the next edition of The Huntsman Newspaper. Mrs. Marley and her husband hope to see you all on the day.

In friendship,

Old Mary

Many Thanks to Lynnie, AKA Mrs. Anne Marley for this clever swap idea.

For this swap we will be creating a handbill for the grand opening of the Apothecary Shoppe. It should be at least 4" x 6" or 10 cm x 15 cm in size, larger if you desire. Your handbill should mention the name and address of the shoppe as well as the name of the proprietress and opening date.

You may write, type, print or design your handbill as you like but it should be in keeping with our era, meaning no modern patterns, no slang verbiage or florescent colours. May your bill as simple as an artfully phrased description with flourishes or create a colourful tribute to the day, or perhaps, a combination of the two. Send your handbill along with a note from your character.

Details

We will have 1 partner for this swap, to whom we will send a handbill we have fashioned by writing, printing, drawing or painting. This key information should be present on your handbill:

• Date: 1st August 1799
• Address: The Apothecary Shoppe, No 17 Butchers Row
• Proprietors: Mrs. Anne Marley and her husband Mr. Nicholas Marley

Lynnie Suggests "The flyers could contain scents or Apothecary Shoppe items that we may want to be in store. We will also be showcasing a surprise "new" remedy of the time."

Let your imaginations take flight with these notions and delight your partner with a fun swap.

Be as creative as you like, making your handbill 4" x 6" or 10 cm x 15 cm in size, or larger. Include a note from your character with your handbill.
