So…we got snowed in on the very day we were supposed to be moving everything into my sisters store. For 2 days we stayed at home and did everything we could to prepare things…painted furniture, assembled display racks, tagged jewelry, and eventually we took a break and made stuff…
When we made our “snow run” to the grocery store for bread and milk (and chocolate), I bought stacks of coffee filters and assorted sizes of muffin and candy paper liners. We dyed some in coffee and tea, and just stacked them together, strung with wire and old pearls for centers. We also used recycled packing papers from some of her merchandise, as well as tissue paper and pages ripped from a phone book.
I covered a mannequin with these flowers and strung some vintage metal letters from the flea market onto a strand of pearls. My sisters boutique is called ONA, which means “all things good”. I put the mannequin in the store window just as a funky display…I wonder if anyone will get it?
