Hmmm, someone has been raking leaves. Talk about recycling - what's basically a pile of leaves becomes artistic and interesting in this Paris department store window display.
This vitrine at Printemps, Paris features artfully-arranged feathers and tree branches in lieu of a chapeau. Check out the glittery tights - I wore similar ones in high school.
A green furry shawl covers a white fur jacket. Notice the white owls perched in the birch branches.
Visit again Tuesday for additional holiday window displays.
I love the snowy owl in the trees. What fun job these window designers must have. I miss the days here, where there were big window displays - with all of the malls here now, it seems we actually have less to see...thank you for sharing your lovely views!!~xOx

These windows are just *incredible*. Wow. I want to hop on a plane to Paris immediately. No such luck. Next week I am in Kyrgyzstan.

I'm always amazed at how you get these phenomenal window shots. I have tried, but so often I get too many reflections. Stunning for sure!

the display and decor are beautifully done.
i remember those stockings as well of earlier years.
yet i wonder if parisians wear fur??
over here nobody wears it, mainly because of wild preservation and the abuse of it. also fur is considered as a needless luxury article.

Wow this is so beautiful It is a crime to break it down again. This belongs in a museum. Luckily you took some gorgeous pictures of it.

I must say, you really do find the most interesting window displays. I could spend a whole day (or more possibly) mulling about checking out displays like that.

These windows are simply stunning...simple, natural...and gorgeous. Love those tights..I had those too!!! Everything old is new!! Doesn't it feel "lovely" to be considered "retro"??
