Terrific work, Patti -- I can't afford a thing in them, but I just LOVE Anthropologie stores! #9183308

Only on sale, Monnie...if that. They are the coolest stores, though, aren't they? Unbelievably creative people! #9183316

Patti, the range of tones here is very nice, as is the arrangement of the catalogues. I especially like the one you've chosen to feature, while the others keep us circling around considering their details. #9183364

Terrific work, Patti...!
Anthropologie has a flagship store at Rockefeller Plaza, and when I worked upstairs from it, I was constantly stunned by their display windows... they went SO FAR beyond mannequins (I don't think I ever saw one mannequin!) it was always a treat to watch the next window display go up, every 2 months or so. #9184650

Patti Coblentz January 22, 2011 0

Thanks, Chris...you're right, they are a very talented group! #9184665

I always knew you had something to do with clothes and/or fabrics, Patti! And And being the shopper that I am, I recognize most of those catalogs! What a great idea for the Paper theme and it looks great in B&W! #9198158

Its so cool to learn that your talent goes far beyond photography and that you have a creative nature in other fields. I love the look you have here, the black and white gets you some beautiful tones and I love the full page look. Gorgeous look. I think of BP as my development table. #9209785

Patti Coblentz February 04, 2011 0

Thanks, Frank! I look forward to the day that everything related to photog. only will be my development table, too :) #9211153

I love it when we show each other little windows into each others lives. :)

Fun to see some of the mags you are inspired by, Patti. I had to smile when you said you had many desks. I stopped and counted mine, too! :)

I like the way they are laid out here. We get a taste of them all!!!

Great Job!

Thank, Laura. You shpuld see my place now...a disaster. My store, etc is closed for the season and I'm re-doing the whole interior...today started the process of concrete floor staining...what a project!! An upside down (organized) mess..LOL. Can't even find a desk :)) #9241380
