So MANY choices for simple and effective (that means people will TALK about your windows and take selfies in front of them and bring their guests in just to see!) holiday windows that are easy and inexpensive, I have to divide the inspirational photos I have into three days!
Here in Part 3, we’re on my favorite window topic for Christmas and assorted holidays: Tis the Season! If you use a winter theme (yes, even if you’re in tropical climes) you amuse, you do not (more…)

How about Santa’s wardrobe on a clothesline? Don’t let Santa hang you out to dry, shop resale for the holidays. Or We’re Santa’s backyard.
