I haven't been in an antique mall where we've had the opportunity to dress a window. I know that is hard work but also fun.<br /> I wish I had written my blog post on vignettes after your post because I would most definitely have included this vignette in my post.<br /> Great job as always.<br />BetsySisters Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790513211119726106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464562679611579552.post-52641219799575183992013-08-19T23:32:54.115-04:002013-08-19T23:32:54.115-04:00love the window display Carol!

You had different levels of height and texture. As long as you think of it as a 3-dimensional canvas, you can't go wrong!<br /><br />Now a tip about those reflections... If you have a digital camera that can take filters, please get a polarizing filter. This kind of filter rotates and you select how much or how little polarization effect you want. It will cut down those reflections dramatically. The only downside is that it eats up more light, so it will require a shallower depth of field and/or slower speed. If you are using a point and shoot camera, just take your polarizing sunglasses off your face and put an eyepiece over the camera lens.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464562679611579552.post-12551918293116820852013-08-18T08:37:30.557-04:002013-08-18T08:37:30.557-04:00What a beautiful job, Carol!

I was happy for her . . . but jealous at the same time. I know jealousy is a bad thing, but sometimes it just pops up. When the store ex-spans, you'll probably have even more people walking through, get ready for a huge holiday of sales. Your things are so beautiful at you'll be selling and replacing like mad. <br />Have a lovely weekend,<br />Your blogging sister, Connie :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464562679611579552.post-80823363404787477922013-08-17T11:58:45.661-04:002013-08-17T11:58:45.661-04:00Looks wonderful!
