Scenes from The Nutcracker in Selfridge's fairytale windows. That's my daughter Jordana's reflection in the window.
Scenes from The Highwayman are depicted (above and below).
A gold wire mesh bear looms large in this window at Selfridge's on Oxford Street, London.
Rumpelstiltskin's spinning wheel
Scenes from Hansel and Gretel (above and below).
A gold mesh unicorn is the focal point in this Selfridge's window. The London department store was packed with shoppers in the run-up to Christmas.
The Lion from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe from The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (above and below) roams among children's toys and books.
Their window displays are no joke, my goodness, it's like visiting a museum for free. I love all of the mannequins, their dresses, jewelry, style, all are phenomenal.

Aren't Christmas windows the greatest? I think I would like Santa to bring me a pair of those plaid stockings.

All so pretty and colorful. Especially like the lion second from the bottom. Is that Jordana's reflection in the window of the top picture?

What enchanting scenes! Especially the first one, where your lovely Jordana appears to be dreaming or imagining the images into being.
I wish our local window dressers were as creative as they seem to be overseas.
Thank you for sharing some of the fun and beauty, Tara!

As always, I adore the photos of the holiday windows! I think the first one with Jordana is fantastic.
