HERE ARE THE NEW YORK CITY HOLIDAY WINDOWS FOR 2017 !

  Every year, New York City department stores transform their standard window displays for wintry holiday themed showcases.  They usually start unveiling these windows around the middle of November.  These window displays become a feast for the eyes with portrayals of the winter holidays.  Either showcasing one of our favorite stories or movies when we were children or some kind of glittery modern extravaganza.  The holiday windows for the 2017 season have already proven to be a hit with window shoppers. 

  I hope you enjoy this peek at the new holiday windows for 2017!



BARNEYS NEW YORK

   They collaborated with artists Simon and Nikolai Haas of The Haas Brothers on its winter window display, titled "Haas for the Holidays." The Haas Brothers typically explore aesthetic themes relating to nature in their work, thus the luxury retailer's Madison Avenue displays create an imaginative universe using Haas animations and characters coexisting through eras from the beginning of the earth to the distant future. "We were thrilled to collaborate with the Haas Brothers to tackle complicated themes through a unique lens of playful environments and characters," said Matthew Mazzucca, Creative Director of Barneys New York. "The result is a fun and engaging concept that celebrates individuality, inclusiveness and love."

















BERGDORF GOODMAN

   This holiday season, the windows at Bergdorf Goodman are a series of glass-contained love letters to seven cultural institutions in New York City: The American Museum of Natural History, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Museum of the Moving Image, The New York Botanical Garden, New York Philharmonic, New-York Historical Society and UrbanGlass. Entitled "To New York With Love," David Hoey, the mastermind behind the department store's visuals, captures the city's appreciation for the arts by creating fantastical renderings of the various institutions' subject matter — see Swarovski crystal-encrusted dinosaur skeletons, papier-mâché New Yorkers, a neon orchestra and dancing mannequins. 
















HENRI BENDEL

   Henri Bendel celebrates fearless creators through its playful holiday setup made in partnership with 3D greeting card company Lovepop. "It has been a pleasure working with the Lovepop team on the flagship holiday installation this year," said Henri Bendel creative cirector Pina Ferlisi. "As disruptor's in their industry, Lovepop is an incredible group of risk takers. We love their more is more approach to surprise and delight their customers, something we believe in when speaking to our own Bendel girls." Together, the two delight Bendel's holiday shoppers with a stunning interior display of over 30,000 butterflies fluttering from the ceiling and enchant Fifth Avenue passerbys with a whimsical window display of paper-made flora and fauna bursting out of the retailer’s signature hat box.












LORD AND TAYLOR

    Lord and Taylors 80th annual holiday windows are filled with graciously lit classic wintry and Christmas scenes to go along with its theme: "The Best and The Brightest." The Fifth Avenue windows take visitors on a whimsical journey, as seen through the lens of enchanted snow globes. In addition to the Fifth Avenue display, Lord & Taylor partnered with the Hallmark Channel to line its windows on 38th Street with special animations that celebrate "Countdown to Christmas," the network's programming event.


















SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

   Saks Fifth Avenue partnered with Disney to retell the story of Snow White in each of its 14 Fifth Avenue-facing windows. The floral, light-filled window vignettes bring the classic fairytale to life, through animated depictions of different scenes from the film: There's a twirling Snow White, a group of heigh-hoing dwarfs, a Wicked Queen with a ripe-as-ever poisonous apple and a magic mirror. But for the ultimate holiday treat, the luxury retailer also tasked four designers — Alberta Ferretti, Naeem Khan, Monique Lhuillier and Marchesa — to fill its 49th and 50th street windows with one-of-a-kind princess gowns fit for a modern-day Snow White, which are set amidst a lush backdrop of real moss and gold-painted furniture. 



















MACYS

  Yes, Virginia, Macy's has once again outdone itself on its annual holiday window displays.The flagship store on 34th Street Herald Square is a must-see for New Yorkers and out-of-towners during the holiday season.   This year's window theme is "The Perfect Gift Brings People Together." The store unveiled its windows Thursday night with much fanfare, including a fireworks display. The windows will remain through Jan. 1.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason.  As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.  Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from  Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C  sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp

   This comes from www.thatvillagehouse.blogspot.com .  I made something similar a couple years ago, without the pots.  It was about 6 feet high.  I got the inspiration from a Chirstmas dectoration that we bought at Target. This is a very good idea and make a great enterance to your home.  So here's a little something to thing about for next year.  Before you know it December will be here again.  You could also do something like this for an Easter theme.   Enjoy! A Merry Welcome! So here is my first Christmas project for the year!! I saw something similar at our church's Advent celebration & pretty much straight up copied it. I couldn't help it. It was love at first sight! I plan to make a 2nd stack to go on the other side of my door, so I'm not completely done, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. I started with 3 different sized boxes...9, 12 & 14 inch cubes. I used an ice pick to punch holes in each of them so that I could run

SAPPORO SNOW FESTIVAL FROM JAPAN!!!

     The Sapporo Snow Festival is a famous festival held annually in Sapporo, Japan, over 7 days in February.  Currently, Odori Park, Susukino, and Tsudome are the main sites of the festival.  The 2011 Yuki-matsuri dates are February 7th to the 13th.    The festival is one of Japan's largest and most distinctive winter events.  In 2007, about 2 million people visited Sapporo to see the hundreds of snow statues and ice sculptures at the Odori Park and Suskino sites, in central Sapporo, and the Satoland site.  The festival is thought to be an opportunity for promoting international relations. The International Snow Sculpture Contest has been held at the Odori Park sit since 1974, and teams from various regions of the world participate.      The subject of the statues varies and often features as event, famous building or person from the previous yer.  For example, in 2004, there were statues of Hideki Matsui, the famous baseball player who at that time pl
