The window display never fails to attract my attention. Last month an antique kimono was strung across the window on a broom stick, whilst furniture from a selection of era's were carefully arranged with striking pieces of artwork. There's always something to make me look twice.
But I think the current window display takes the biscuit! I couldn't help but do an about-turn when I dashed past last Wednesday afternoon. The window was a taxidermist's Tate Modern! It was full of stuffed creatures, birds and mammals of all species, carefully nestled in a swathe of white netting. Juxtaposed against the back-drop of a huge nest-like chest, whose drawers, stuffed with grass and moss gave the whole window a kind of Dickensian, Great Expectationesque vibe......
I half expected to see Miss Havisham take a seat on this chair which looked as though it had been pecked by the pheasants. I loved it all......so theatrical...I can't wait to see what comes next
