Window Wonderland Reducks (+Swans+Geese)

I recently enjoyed a bit of window shopping at Holt Renfrew in downtown Vancouver--it's pretty much the only way I can afford to shop there.  The very clever window-dressers had chosen to illustrate the lyrics from The Twelve Days of Christmas. Here's a sampling of images that I couldn't resist "toying" with.



Electric Lady Land Partridge in a Pear Tree!



I bet you didn't know that it was a Canada Goose that laid the golden egg.




5 gold rings...jewellery is always a popular gift, or how about a solid gold hoola-hoop.



Golden rings and golden eggs with a little Christmas bling (thanks to Pixlr effects)




 8 maids-a-milking with 6 swans-a-swimming while the 7th one swans in for a solo



9 ladies dancing conjure up visions of sugar plum fairies



11 pipers blowing as hard as a winter wind, even though they haven't got a leg to stand on



(image treated with a dousing of magic pixlr dust)
 and 2 turtle doves (or as my grandmother used to say, "Lovey Dovies")

wishing you love, warmth, and merriment
in this festive season

xoxo

    With window shopping like that, a person could save a lot of bills coming in after Christmas... could even be good for walking off all those yummy little extras we all like to celebrate the season with.

    Gwen,
    Oh those yummy "extras." Maybe I should engage in window jogging rather than window shopping. If one holds a rum with eggnog in each hand and lifts them alternately to the lips, does that count as weight lifting?

    Looks like you are in the Christmas spirit. Good for you! The store windows are a lot of fun, so much to look at. But the last of the doves is lovely and would make an excellent Christmas card. I'll just take this time to say that it's been fantastic tagging along, sharing thoughts, and being exposed to your artistic processes over this last year. You are such a talented, energetic, bright and shining presence! Thank you. Best wishes to you for a very Merry Christmas!

    Hi, and Happy New Year!

    I'm sorry that I didn't reply individually to your thoughtful and delightful comments on this post but rest assured, I read them all with gratefulness and smiles. I got caught up in Christmas preparations, family and old friends arriving from far and near, and general merriment. Now I need to take the time to recover a bit.

    Love and hugs,
    Lynne (louciao)
