Somebody just said shared an amazing fact – it is only 7 weeks till the Christmas holiday. I’m not quite sure how I feel about that, but today I enjoyed helping the downtown Anthropologie create their holiday display.

A burnt thumb later (that hot glue gun was, well, extremely hot), we went home leaving the elk legs well filled in. The creative displays are this store’s version of the company theme this year, paper craft.

Basically they made shapes with wire, stuffing and paper tape, then cut strips of wax paper. Burn the wax paper edges slightly and dunk into a tray of water (it burns really fast), then glue these onto the animals.

I can’t wait to see the elk when I get a chance to drop in again, I’ve unofficially named him Albert and wish I could adopt one of his fox friends.
