After the clown fiasco it was nice to have some peace with our dock window. I think it came out great, I’m almost sad to see it go.  But the show must go on as they say….

Here is your peek at the display window and the updated “other” window. (like I didn’t have enough work to do with just the display window! LOL)

Also this summer we had a virtual tour made of our retail store. It came out awesome! And if you wait til the end, you will even get to see what I look like, if you haven’t already seen me. (No close ups please!!)

Check it out when you have a minute!

Hopefully one day this week I will have the windows done and I will be back to show you how it came out.

The build of the clown took forever. Pieces ordered online took weeks to arrive and some parts were backordered.  It was awful!  But once everything arrived I was hoping I was back on track.  Wrong again.

I got the window all decorated with the circus tent and foil star swirls hanging from the ceiling. Then I moved in the clown, and his arm fell off, then his hand fell off. He was not cooperating at all!!  Once I got him settled, I moved in the table complete with the rabbit in the hat and the magic wand.  I ran to the back with my bag of balloons and watched videos on YouTube of how to make balloon animals. Oh my, was that a chore.  I can assure you that I will never leave and entertain at kiddie parties making balloon animals, that’s for sure.  It’s much, much harder than it looks.

Anyway, 2 hours later I had a bunch of things made, some good, some not so good.  But I filled up with window with my balloon creations.  Happy with the window, I set off to make some candles.  A few hours later I heard the loudest BANG! I thought for sure that someone had shot through the front window with a shot gun.  But alas, it was just my balloon animals popping. All that hard work and there they went, one after another, BANG, BANG, BANG until there were none.  I just know that darn clown did it!

Each day I came into the store, something else fell off the clown. He kept throwing the magic wand on the ground. He kept dropping his hands, the magic scarves kept coming off, showing his slightly sharp teeth. (hey, I tried to make him look like a happy clown doing magic) LOL  What a nightmare!! I think he lasted about 3 weeks before I couldn’t take it anymore, and switched the window to our summer theme.  Which I will post pics of very soon.

So in case you didn’t get to see the circus window with the evil clown here are some pics.

It feels like just yesterday that I put the window up but it was actually quite a few weeks ago.  Easter was so early I just couldn’t stand looking at all those bunnies come the middle of April, so I switched the window a bit early. Here’s how it came out.

We have been hard at work getting the pieces together for the June window.  Im even trying to make balloon animals. Sadly that’s not going so well. But I have faith that I can pull it off.  Hopefully when everything is together in the window it will look good.  That’s the bad part about doing the display, you can plan all you want but you never know how its going to look until its actually all together in the window.  Im totally keeping my fingers cross for this one.

Oh and for all of you that don’t like clowns… im going to apologize now!
