Here is our Christmas display at Black & Spiro which we installed today. I collaborated with talented Brisbane artist Sue-Ching Lascelles to create this installation. Sue made all of the amazing animals and wreath and screen in a mixture of paper and fabric....she is very, very clever!! We conceptualized the design with Mexican otomi textile as our inspiration. Unfortunately these photos aren't great so if you are in Brisbane, make sure you pop in for a visit. We'd love to see you...

That is just magical and perfect for an Australian Christmas!
The coloured animals you and Sue-Ching made are so creative and interesting to look at. Great window, Anna!
Wow! What stunning displays - I just love the colour, I only wish I were in Brisbane to see it in person. So much more of an Australian-style Christmas to use colour as you have.
I am finally getting a Christmas tree this year (after many years of not having one as we usually travel interstate for family Christmases) and I have found some blown glass ornaments that are birds, butterflies and insects. I thought it would be slightly more appropriate than snowmen/ snowflakes.
All I can say is WOW!

Now those are my kind of Christmas decorations. So pretty!

Anna, your color sense is just "off the charts" amazing! The Christmas display is delicious. I can't believe that anyone passing your shop wouldn't want to stop in for a look at the beauty and originality that exist within your walls.
Dying and would give my left arm to see your store in person. The colours and tree/animal installation are totally inspiring. Thanks for starting my Friday with so much joy!
This is amazing!! What is it like celebrating Christmas during summer months? Always wondered...
Absolutely beautiful!

Thanks for the inspiration in plenty of time before Christmas, looks like hot pink and lime green will be the feature colours for an Aussie Christmas this year.

Anna, only you could to do something so amazing and beautiful and clever and colourful! What a stunning display.......wish i could see it in person! KG X
I miss the pink background but I guess you're tired of it and need a change. If you take a poll, I vote "color". Thank you, Anna, for all your hard work.
you have done it again, wow! looks amazing x
Good Lord you girls are clever. I so wished I lived in Brissy simply to be able to marvel at the wondrous Black & Spiro window displays. David Jones has nothing on you girls!
