paper dolls & pretty windows

I have to say part of the inspiration for our holiday windows this year came from an art exhibition Tessa was invited to model for this past September.  The artist behind Paper Dolls is Matthew Richmond of Ferndale & he transforms yesterday’s news into amazing dresses of all kinds.

I employed the whole fam to help me get all the goods ready to dress the windows ~in case you ever wondered what we do for fun on a Thursday night  (…too bad Gus doesn’t have opposable thumbs otherwise he’d also be making oodles of garlands)

Now that we had all our decorations made, I asked Tessa to create her own ‘paper doll’ dress with our tissue & wrapping paper.

I made one too…

And after we squeezed everybody in….

Ta-dah!  Two gals that really know how to make Christmas merry & bright.
