We’ve been so busy this holiday season we just haven’t had time to share our window display with you yet. On top of that, our usual photographer, Brenndan, just had a baby boy, so he’s a little busy to say the least. So our friend, Libby, stepped in to help us capture the window.
When Stefanie and Maria were in NYC last year, they fell in love with Anthropologie spring window. They had made flower gardens out of plastic bottles. Making stuff from plastic bottles wasn’t new to us – but it was definitely inspiring. What could we do that was different and still pay homage to one of our favourite stores? Why a Christmas Tree, of course!
With many many thanks to our army of friends who gathered on 2 different nights to help put this amazing tree together. Lots of laughs, great food and great wine, of course!
