April Cornell Headquarters in Burlington, Vermont

 As you walk into the store this poem is to the left

 What a beautiful welcome to the store

 Flowers.....

 Flowers....everywhere....even painted on the pavement....

Butterflies perfect for selfies!

 Peace!

 The clothesline

Love the colors, love the detail, love the whimsicality, love how it is a true reflection of April Cornell's color palette and love of nature!  A very welcome addition to her building in Burlington, Vermont.

Hampden, Baltimore Window Display Inspiration

 Hampden is a section of Baltimore that my daughter loves to share with me when we visit.  Above is the record store.

 Milagro was my favorite store front of my first visit to town.

 The next visit my favorite storefront and store was Trohv

 Each window was draped with different color tickets

 The colors are a wonderful color for the background with a vintage feel.

It gave a glow and a feeling of fun at a fair.  A great feeling to have while you are shopping.

Was happy to see a book by Meeralee in the store.  She is working  on a new journal and I still have to go back to Sea and Green in Asbury Park to get a copy of her book "My Friend Fear".

Covent Garden Window Display Inspiration

One of my favorite parts of walking through Covent Gardens was to see the mix of vendors and storefronts and how they displayed their merchandise.  To see macarons from Laduree, across the street from a sneaker vendor, I became more intrigued on how this could all flow together, but it did.  I liked how the store windows used a theme and it seemed to be some manufactured visuals and some home made.  I liked the themes.  The birds, clouds, ice-cream, flowers, butterflies all made you feel joy, light and carefree.  This was done with images, merchandise and color.  The soaps in the cart merchandised like a fruit stall was genius.
