Ding Dong! Avon (not) calling. 😁

After 137 years, Avon, known for its door-to-door selling, announced it would open its first shops in Britain in response to the declining number of women staying at home.

Will it do well? Competition will be fierce on the high street.
What do you think?
Do YOU buy Avon? I haven’t bought any for nigh on 30 years.

‘Pretty Peach’ products were nice for our girls when they were little and my mum loved ‘Topaz’ back in the day.

Does anyone remember the Honeysuckle range?
Fifty years ago now (how did that happen) filling
the house with the most gorgeous scent, then
inexplicably discontinued.

Our Avon Lady was a neighbour, always welcome
in our house, with her bag of samples, in the days
when you could leave the catalogue, cash in the porch
safely, come home to cash gone, fragrant goodies in their place.

Avon shops sounds somehow contradictory, although
I hope they do well

Apparently an Avon range will be available in over 100 Superdrug stores from round about now.....just googled it, there is a list of the stores involved printed.
