January was my turn to decorate the large window at Winnie & Tulula's. I've learned that merchandising is not my gift, and I tend to dread this whenever it comes around to my turn.
Since the New Year is all based on time and 12:00 etc,
I requested January because of my love of clocks. Then I began to gather and gather and gather clocks. Since August I've been buying any and all, reasonably priced clocks I could get my hands on. And numbers and anything clock related.
It's hard to photograph through a window but I'll try to explain what you are looking at. First I attached lots of numbers and a few clock faces to about 5 or 6 lengths of ribbon and hung them from the ceiling of the space. It kinda looks like a clock number party is going on. Then I brought in every clock I could find and I displayed them on this metal ladder and one of those circular garden pot holders (see the left side). I had Gloria leave up the silver streamers from the prior months display as well as the "snow and glitter". To the right of the ladder I had a wall space so I hung vintage clock faces from ribbon at different heights.
It's a black and Silver Clock Explosion
I added a few pieces of clock jewelry and some letter balls with letters X I and V
for the roman numerals you see on clocks. More metal numbers litter the floor, like confetti. The letterpress letters spell TICK TOCK.
It looks lots better in person and I hope that it brings folks in.
Happy New Year Everyone
Just a Note, Winnie & Tulula's will be open New Years Eve if you are looking for somewhere to go.

Love all the clocks, Margo. Looks great and I just read in House Beautiful that Typography is a top new trend in 2011. I think this would fall into that catagory with all the numbers. I also think it's a great display to start out with in the new year. Way to go! And wishing you a happy new year!
Hi Margo,

What a "Timley" theme! I LOVE clocks and this display is wonderful. Great job.
Margo, i respectfully disagree, you can decorate. It looks amazing. You did good girl. We have seen your house too so I think you are underestimating yourself. It is all good. Have a happy and blessed New Year, Marta.

Happy new Year Margo. I think that you have to let go of the claim that merchandising is not your gift. That window is fantastic. I wish that I lived close enough to see it in person.
