window dressing

Two weeks ago I spent a few days in the Hudson Valley

for rest + a bit of work + fun.

I can hardly call the work "work".

It was really part of the fun...

I was asked to design 2 shop windows.

The first for my friend Helen Andersson,

Make-up artist and lead educator at Face Stockholm.

Helen also has an amazing space, Tivoli Ayurveda in Tivoli, NY, where she 

gives Ayurvedic treatments and sells her products, Sweet Botany.

Ayurveda is an ancient healing science which uses 

natural skin treatments like special oils and crushed sandalwood

to promote one's immunity using special massage.
So much more to it....
oh and I absolutely need to thank
Suzy 
pinterest goddess deluxe
for helping me spray paint
the florescent pink paint on fabric!

 Our feet are forever florescent

The fabric is a gorgeous oatmeal linen-muslin like scrim.

Here's Helen's window:

 I also dressed Jill's, Tivoli Mercantile children's shop window.
Jill's shop is a special place...
gorgeous clothes, jewelry, wares for home, special things for kids
+
much more!
I ALWAYS find at least one treasure there....
Worth the trip!
I promise!

The best part was sewing the new circle flags
in the fab barn I was lucky enough to stay + work in.
Absolute heaven there even in the pouring rain.
