Analogue Chic

My masterpiece is complete: I installed some lighting in the Salvation Army window display to kick it up a notch in conjunction with our local First Night events.

I used these instructions from Martha’s now defunct (RIP) Bluelines magazine for the lights.  And I did it for much cheaper than the materials she lists– thank you, post-Christmas clearance lights.  The directions are a little vague, but trust me, just start doing it, and think about building a chic Lite Brite for grownups.

And hopefully you’ll notice that I balanced out the right side of the window with a teepee-tree made of store-bought birch limbs.  So for what it is, I’m quite happy with it.  And I’m also pleased to hear that the staff has been getting a lot of questions and compliments about it.

Now, I need to start brainstorming the next display for late January-February…
