The Window

One of my absolute favorite things about our shop location is that we are on Main Street and we have a huge display window. Not only does the window take up most of the front of the shop, but it’s got a very large windowsill, making it ideal to decorate. For people walking or driving by, it will catch the eye if it’s decorated well.

I’m not the most visually artistic person, so I was a little concerned about how we were going to make this huge window look good. Patrick and I were also hesitant to put real yarn in the window because it’s not UV protected.

Not to worry, though! Cathy Speigelberg from Premier Petals and Kasi Pagel from Focusing Life Photography, both Main Street businesses in Weyauwega, came to our rescue! I asked Cathy for help in doing the window and she was more than happy to oblige. Later that day, she came by with Kasi with lots of ideas. One of them was that Kasi would take some yarn to her studio and photograph it so that we would have pictures of yarn instead of actual yarn in the display.

The night before we opened, Cathy came over and made our window look just gorgeous. She used a Fall leaf garland, some wooden apple buckets, three pots of mums, the framed photos, and some magic to come up with this:

Is this amazing, or what?!! I am so excited that other Main Street businesses are supportive of our little shop. I am so grateful to Cathy and Kasi for putting together this beautiful display!
