Winter Wonderland

A few weeks back when we were all together we went to The Woodlands Tx to check out the Winter Wonderland.  The decorations and lights were so pretty at night. 



 While there I had to stop on over at Anthropologie.  I'm always so inspired by their creations.  Their ideas are usually over the top.  Most people go into the store to look at the clothes, of course, but I'm there for the displays!

 
 Big puffy cloud like flowers were their theme to resemble large snow balls.  I think it was large rolls of tissue paper made into flowers, we've all made them but their's were just fabulous.

 
Here's another view of the window.

 
I would say look at this dress, but you know I can't lie, so look at these puffy snow like flowers.

 
Now this was a cute idea.

 
More views of the inside of the store.  They are very particular about picture taking in the store so you almost feel like you're going to steal something, because you have to look around for sales associates and then quickly take a pic so that they don't see you.

 
Here's my crew.  I enjoyed the Winter scenes, but the best part was just enjoying spending time with my boys and girl (just love her, isn't she pretty, and the best part she's crazy about my son).  We ate at PF Changs and just had the best time.  

Are you through with your Christmas shopping yet?  In case you forgot there are only 11 days left until Christmas, 10 days for us since we celebrate on Christmas Eve. Hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday!

  4. I love Anthropology! Like you said, I go in to see the displays and marvel at their creativity. We went looking at Christmas Lights this weekend...some folks really do it up right. A few needed a little help, but they still had the Christmas spirit.

  8. If you'll look back on my blog to Miss Frenchie's weekend in KC, I show Anthropologies window there that is just like this one. They even had the same ostrich inside. And we ate at P.F. Chang's -- great minds. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

  22. I wish there was an Anthropologie somewhere within driving distance of where I live. It's certainly worth it just to go for the displays. Glad you had a great time with your family, Theresa.

  29. Would love to go back to Anthropology but even more to Season's of Cannon Falls. Their displays are to die for and so much nicer to see in a home setting then a showroom.

    Love that store too. Like the fact that they have other things than just clothes in there.

    Even found some antique bottles.
