Book Stacked Boo!
This Halloween, we topped off our scary books with a giant ghost made with white books and black construction paper. He might not have been terrifying, but he was definitely unstable. 😉 Continue reading Book Stacked Boo!

My Undead Valentine
Who wants to do a whole mushy, romantic Valentine display? Not me! Instead, let’s feature some good ol’ fashion vampire love. Too jaded? I think not. Continue reading My Undead Valentine
Celebrate the Gift of Learning
This is one of my favorite window case displays I’ve done. It’s so simple and wintery. We have winter in Alaska for six months, so it can span December and January and still feel right.

With just a pot full of cookbooks on an old tablecloth with some utensils hanging around, the display is pretty self explanatory. So many … Continue reading What’s Cookin’?
A Scary Affair: Halloween
Halloween is fast approaching and it’s time to break out everything scary, ghosty, bloody and undead (in book form that is). We are always being asked where the scary stories are located so it’s fun to pull them all into one display area. And you’ve gotta make it a little creepy for added interest. I have to admit, my personal halloween decorating supply was getting … Continue reading A Scary Affair: Halloween
