I love looking at visual merchandising displays, if you work in retail – I’m the one closely inspecting your windows instead of the wares in the store! (ok I look in the store too, but that’s another topic).

When we were in New York earlier this year, we spent some quality time in Anthropologie, I would have to say that it’s one of my favourite stores, not only for their gorgeous stock, but their displays were stunning.

These little lovelies were part of their window display when we were there, there were masses of them all set up on branches. On close inspection they’re made up of the old style ‘chatterbox’ paper fortune folds– remember those? Then glued to a paper lantern with a light inside – so clever and effective, would be equally as pretty as part of wedding or party decorations!
