Tara, these are gorgeous! I love peacocks. Thanks for sharing!
You're killing me with all these wonderful windows. Boy, the window shopping I'd do there. There wouldn't be any time for anything else, I'm afraid! Cheers!
The little onion-shaped top cage caught my eye. I had one exactly the same, painted white, that I bought in Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. (I must be the only person in the West who hasn't been to Morrocco!!)
They have created a magical world in these "vitrines."
The first picture is so gorgeous Tara and reminds me of when Krista was much younger. When she was in grade school, we would take a mini-detour home whenever we came to a particular corner. That turn would lead us to a house out in the country where she would always see at least five peacocks. It is a truly sweet memory you have evoke with the picture.
Just gorgeous! I love these Parisian windows---their elegance undercut with a sassy urbanity! D promises me we'll go to Paris the day after Christmas next year for New Year's and my birthday, so you two have a year to get ready ;D. (We'll be in Paris before then, too, about which more later!)
Xoxo,

I just love these Christmas window displays. They banish the bah humbug so effectively.

Wow these pictures almost look 3D. They remind me of pictures from the old view masters when I was a kid! Very cool pictures as usual!

I'm just drooling over these! They sure beat Bon Marche's Casino Royale windows. Keep 'em coming, SVP :-)
