Our New Autumn Window Display

Today at Sweet Moments we were busy with changing the window display, away from the summer look, to the new Autumn display!  At every change in season, the old display is stripped out and the inside of the window is cleaned, much to the amusement of local comedians, who always insist on pointing out bits that have supposedly been missed, also people that like to wave back whilst I am making large arm movements buffing the inside clean.  All good fun though!

Once the glass had been cleaned, a new ruffled brown cloth was the first item to go in, setting the colour tone for the whole display.   It's also great fun unpacking some of the wonderful items that have been chosen by us, on our latest visit to Belgium to choose our packaging for Christmas and Valentine's Day.  They were chosen at the end of August, it's always quite difficult choosing your Christmas theme, when there's often bright sunshine outside!  This time for Autumn we chose a large Farmer pot, a small Farmer holding a pot, a lovely felt watering can with a fantastic sunflower display on the side, small squirrels and Autumn leaves.  Belgians are absolute masters of window displays.  From large shops to the very smallest, from the most sophisticated products to the most insignificant, all have stunning window displays
