I KNOW! I love them! I shot a few photos a couple weeks ago after a trip to Anthro, posted them on Flickr, and then they contacted me to ask if I’d add it to their pool of anthro window photos…here’s the link if you’d like to join, too! They’re all SO pretty! http://www.flickr.com/groups/anthropologiespring2010windows/

Random question: have you ever done a post about your favorite paper stores to shop at in the DC metro area? I am going to be in town soon and am in need for different stores to check out! Thanks! – Gayle P.

Danny did a blog post about them, too! I LOVE these and am so tempted to make a bunch to put outside in my garden area to spruce it up until mother nature takes over and it gets colorful for real. 🙂
Hope your trip is going well, xoxo, SLikeLike

I am amazed to see the flowers from plastic bottles. I wish if you could share the procedure to create one.

I too thought these displays were beautiful, but then I wondered what will happen to the bottle-flowers after the season is over and they take the display down… can the bottles be recycled if they’re covered in paint? I blogged about it here, along with Anthro’s responses to my questions.

So, if anyone likes the plastic flowers, ask your local store if you can have them at the end of the season!LikeLike

hi Gayle, I wish I had a ton of recommendations for you, but really, all I have is Paper Source. Its on M Street in Georgetown and there is a lot of great shopping around there. I have also heard of Pulp, which is more downtown. I havent been, but have heard it is great. Let me know what you find!
