Window Displays

An homage to the best season in Vermont: Sugaring Season! Thanks to Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind for lending us the sap buckets <3

Rather than take the Snow in Love window down after the Holidays, I thought it would be nice to adapt it for more of winter. So I took down the twinkle lights, garland, and red bows and replaced them with lovely pink flowers! These little beauties are made from hand dyed coffee filters. They took…

It’s that time of year again! Let the Downtown Rutland Holiday Window Contest commence! This window took me three months to plan and prep for, and three days to install. The concept for this window was to make it look like the two figures were sculpted out of snow and deeply in love in a…

October is National Book Month and I got super inspired this year to create an elaborate book themed window display.

Gotta love the thrift store! I found this hat, shirt, and the apple basket all at a thrift store and spent about $10!

It’s prom season! I put this sparkly number together to sit in front of the doorway at the shop, just for fun 🙂

So this is a unique window display because I didn’t actually make anything in it! There were a number of things that led to this particular display: a friend of the shop’s owner made the life-size doll, a different friend made the quilt, and another friend is opening a yoga studio down the street from…

At the end of every rainbow there’s a pot of gold! This window display was created for St Patrick’s Day. The dress is a Grecian-style draped number with a one shoulder golden cape. The fabric rainbow is sandwiched between a tulle cloud, making this display look a bit ethereal.
