Red & Green

November 2, 2017

Decided to go super traditional for our first Holiday window. The red walls from the prior window just spoke to me wanting a bunch of green to nestle with. This was by far the most challenging window we have ever put together. Some days the creative energy takes a while to get flowing. We took things out, added, subtracted, added more. I still was not happy with it as I stood across the street with Bailey after her walk early afternoon. It just was not popping. Heather & I had worked on it for hours at that point. Amy was brought in to give thoughts. Kelly brought in a fresh set of eyes and came up with the idea to hang the ‘Happy Holidays’ white tags. It was what was missing! Layering is such a large part of what we do at the shops. I have to remind myself that it takes time. A good reminder for all of us as we start getting our spaces ready for the season. Speaking of getting ready, I know for some of you seeing windows in early November seems waaaaay tooooo soon. We have had customers asking for weeks where are the ornaments and when were things being put out. I do my darndest to resist putting goods out until the first of November. But now the race begins…
