I use to decorate windows... Artsy decorated windows make me swoon! I would love to decorate windows again-I guess I need my own store ;D
An igloo out of plastic milk jugs
These are older windows-how gorgeous is this one!!!

These windows were done in London. I can't over the details-amazing!

I think I spied a sale sign, in another photo. Yes, that would explain the battle for a deal~

Ella, I can see you do windows even better than those!
These images are amazing - there are so many creative people out in the world. I'm sure you created many wonderful displays. Your poem touches on the buying/selling/returning frenzy of the season. So much energy goes into attracting the next customer.
"trends on tightropes

I love that!
I can see why you'd love to do this, Ella...it's right up your ally!! I love your poem and presentation, as always, my green loving friend!! xoxo
Poetry perfection, Ellen --- beautifully presented. Loved the photos. Magical.
I love your poem! It perfectly captured the feel of a display window.
No way - the igloos out of milk jugs! These ideas are all amazing. I agree, I know you could do even more beautiful windows than these - I see it on your banner which changes so beautifully so often.
The bottom two photos are wonderful but my fave is the igloo.
Loved your poem, too. Got you in the mood for shopping, hey?
Window Art - love it.
Ella, I enjoyed all of the pictures of windows...wow, there are some talented window dressers in the world. And your poem.....I like the idea of windows being coming and going attractions & how you suggest that the windows draw people IN to the store.
As a child, my family and I used to walk down my hometown's main street on Sunday (when stores were closed) and do window shopping....in other words, just walking and looking. There was nothing to buy; but really this a wonderful memory now. (It could not happen today as there are mostly malls and not downtown shopping streets....and today there is hardly a day the stores are not open). I think you have to get back into doing windows, Ella! I enjoyed your entire post.
I love these pictures! Wish i could see one of those beautifully decorated windows right now :)

I appreciate alluring previews and store windows, I can't resist them ~
Also I enjoyed the pictures specially those by the decorated stores ~ We can do a prompt for them like Margaret's dolls, just a suggestion ~
The window art is amazing! How inspirational:) As for your poem, I really felt like I was reading an ad. So enticing...no wonder you felt the urge to go buy something. Or design something...
I love window shopping in Paris where the art of window dressing is raised to dizzy heights, specially at Christmas - they erect raised board walks adjacent to the windows so that little children can get up close and personal with the displays.
Your poem expresses the excitement beautifully.
How I enjoyed your post. I have not thought about decorated windows in a long time and they used to be quite the thing around the holidays in some places. It must have been fun to decorate them! Thanks for the reminder!
Love these images! Especially the dress, beautiful. I think you'd like Paris especially during the holidays, they have some amazing window displays. I also enjoyed your poem, loved the imagery and how you ended it,
"you enter
welcome to the show!"
perfect. (:
Window dressing to capture your wallet, your eye, your wishes...love the photos and your poem. Beautiful
I did window display at college, and know the attraction of it as an art form! Loved the Igloo Bottles - so clever. our poem caught the allure. :)
What cool windows! I'm not sure I've ever seen a shop window so elaborately decorated, at least not one that caught my eye or stuck in my memory. I need to look in shop windows more often. Wonderful poem in tribute!
Shannon at The Warrior Muse
oooh, very nice! so much more than window dressing :)
Ella, that is most fantastic windows... and while reading your poem, I imagined the big stores,the light, the windown -almost dragging me inside- and at last the big swallow when entering the warm wind- blowing doors!!!
Wish you a most wonderful new year, dear.
Hugs,Dorthe
I've seen the milk jug idea before, and loved it, but this window-dresser really is an artist. As are you, my dear Ella, as are you. Pictures and poetry, beautiful.

These are wonderful. Delightful post!
Window shopping was a favorite game of mine until I started being able to buy--now that I cannot buy anymore I am tempted to go back to it. Your poem is like a carnival barker, "step right up!"--but more seductive. The pictures are fabulous. I want more! Have you considered a window photography tour, just until you're a dresser again?
Love those! So creative
Your window displays are amazing choices, Ella. And the notion of staging and watching the show is a clever one.

like a circus
the colors, the allure whispers
seduction of wonder

Very cool~ <3 *hugs* 555
haha...okay, I'm laughing now cause I'm reading this after reading the "wow" post and I hear myself saying, "Wow" at both the windows and the poem. I'm starting to think I probably use that word a lot.
And these are some crazy window. My faves were the igloo and the red shirt over the shadow scenario that reminded me of peter pan and the lost boys...
