Holiday Window display revealed!

Today’s the day! My holiday window display was revealed this morning at:
Brazen Betties
95 Main Street
Torrington, CT 06790

There was a flurry of excitement as the town celebrated the start of the holiday shopping season with the town tree lighting, carol singing, horse and buggy rides and all of the main street stores open for business!

“Holiday Affair” the theme for my window, was a popular stop! Quite a number of people were taking photos and children delighting at the holiday scene!

The scene, based on a 1960′s holiday cocktail party, includes festive party go-ers getting ready to open their gifts, and partaking in a little holiday cheer! The christmas tree spins and the walls are sprinkled with diamond dust! It’s truly a sight to see in person!

My family and I went early this moring to remove the curtain and offically reveal the display. This is how the window looked in this morning light:

This evening, I was able to join the festivites and did a little holiday shopping myself. It was wonderful to see the community come together and shop at small businesses. It was even more fun to stand on the side lines and watch as people delighted in my holiday display!

* News and Updates from Welcome Home ! *

Hello Everyone !
I have so many exciting things to tell all of you! Unfortunately, I can’t give away all the details on some projects, but I am so delighted about them, that I wanted to share at least a little about each.

The biggest news is that “Welcome Home” has been asked to do store window designs!
On ongoing project in Australia will be featured in the January issue of  FDQ magazine.  What a way to start the New Year, huh?!   I have been secretly working with the store in Australia  since last April, so although this is news to you, I’ve been having a hard time “sitting on my hands”  and not saying a word!    That’s about all I can say concerning this particular project though.

However, closer to home, ( literally the next town over from me), I am designing a Holiday Window for a Clothing and Art Boutique. This sweet gem of a store sits right on Main Street and will be seen by all of the holiday shoppers beginning the day after Thanksgiving. Coincidentally, the next day is my birthday!  What a fabulous way to celebrate!   Of course I will post all the details and photos as soon as the window is debuted!  Watch for the news here.

Coming in December, Welcome Home will be featured in a new fashion doll magazine -”My Muse”.  This periodical hails from Italy! I love their take on dolls and photography. My pieces will be showcased in an article along with Julian Kalinowski’s Lalka doll.  In conjunction with this, Julian and I will be offering a special “gift set” that includes a Lalka doll and Welcome Home furniture!  We wanted to combine our talents and release something truly special.  – So be on the look out !

And finally, I will be hosting a Holiday Sale! Hopefully, it will be the first week of December.  I am still mulling over what to offer so if you have a “Wish List“, drop me a line and let me know what you would like to see under your tree!

If you would like to be included in future updates and sales from Welcome Home, contact me with your email and I will add you to my First To Know List.

I thank you all for your continued support and interest !
Best,
Maryann
