Here we go... the holidays are here. Yikes! At Zinnia we are excited about our Holiday theme. The store looks like we just moved in, there are boxes everywhere. We took down the Cirque de Bizarre art, packed up the Halloween goodies and brought out our Christmas magic. Oh ya, with all this going on, the stories open and busy preparing the gallery.
Since you are reading this you obviously care, I will share a few pictures for those of you who live too far to make it in. Our theme is... wait for, "An Illustrated Christmas". What does that mean? The entire back ground and most of the props will be drawn. Drawn on the wall, the furniture and on foam core. The pictures below will give an idea of what have been up to.

Joey gets started with a wreath that will hang over the mantle.

I think Tamara is drawing the window that
Oprah is always looking out of.

(Get it? Okay side note. When Oprah is moved she pauses and gazes
out into the distance.
I'd like to think she is looking out a window.
Okay never mind
, moving right along.)

Ta Da! I think it looks like a giant coloring book



Check out the black cord to the lights on the window...
yes, that is drawn.

The front window looks super cool. The drapes and table cloth are drawings on foam core. The presents are also drawing but I don't like them... I like real presents. Ha ha.


For now, that's all I can share. I hope that you all have a creative and warm holiday season.
