flora & fauna

now that summer is soon on its way, it's time for new window displays! this was mainly spurred on by the fact that i want my lavender bike back (it was sitting in the window a part of the previous display). so last night, i snuck into the shop and switched things up.

these white vases are always all over the shop (and my home), so i though i would put them to good use.

i was originally going to by those fake birds that sit in wreaths, but then i found the most beautiful sheets of paper. i couldn't resist. i found a cute bird 'pattern' online and grabbed the scissors and glue.




then i started to place the flowers and birds:


oh, and this was a big inspiration as well:

it was one of my (not so bright) first purchases when elizabeth and i got the new space (almost 3 years ago!). i mean it's obviously beautiful and adds character to the shop, spending $160 on 'decor' when new flooring and new racks had to be purchased . . . oh well! c'est la vie! i'm putting it to good use now, right?

then i picked out outfits:

anastasia lomonova sophie dress, 250
biko heart locket, 69

birds of north america wren dress, 195

then, next step, throw it all together, with a few accessories:


and voila:

new windows! plus my bike back! win-win!
