New York Christmas Windows

Christmas in New York means lights 

and shop windows

           Bloomingdales - glitz and movement - rotating presents with a peek inside

                                                           White houses at Tiffany's

c                                              the Tiffany's door man looked pretty too!

                                                                Handbag tree lights

                                                                    details...Lord & Taylor I think

 Macy's windows were ten deep with viewers...lines around the block and there were men standing doing queue control.
Macy's windows are more for children and not at all like the sophisticated displays the other big department stores have.
I couldn't get close, but inside there was plenty on display

                                                     a macaron cafe with a touch of Paris

                                               and the best for last : Bergdorf Goodmans

I couldn't get back far enough to show the whole window - all framed 

                                you really need to click on the photos for a bigger slide show.

                                                        a bit of the frame visible above
                                                                and some detail below.

                                                                 A New York Treat.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Christmas - New Orleans Style

Garland swags on Street Cars

on houses

and balconies too





Wreaths made with beautiful Southern Magnolia leaves





Beautiful ribbon.....cut work, sequins and gold thread



Sparkly hotel lobbies




Shop windows that glow




It wouldn't be New Orleans without green, gold and purple...the Mardi Gras colours
