Changing with the times
Nov. 2nd, 2008 03:30 pmIt's been a very wet, very windy day here on the Island. Not generally good weather for a Bookstore. Not a single car has been parked anywhere near us, though we've had a few walk in folks. Poor Flash is despondent. He even wore his new Halloween bandanna for the girlies! Pout, Flash, pout!
I pulled all the Halloween decorations out of the windows this afternoon. Tucked the little gargoyles around the store, mostly in the dragon section, where they seem quite appropriate. The witches, jack o'lanterns and gravestones are packed for the trip home.
The windows look a bit bare, but in a nice bright and simple way. Re-positioned half the autumn jelly self-stick leaves to the other window so both store titles are decorated. One of the autumn garlands is now wrapped around the little orange lighted black tree, so now the tree has gone from spooky to oddly endearing! The cornucopia filled with Indian corn is now the main focus of the holiday window, can't seem to find much more but a pumpkin to join it. I did leave the full moon, we'll see if anyone complains.
Not that anyone has asked me to do it, but I'll check the dollar and party stores next week to see if we can find a few items to fill it out.
