P.S. Our Facebook fan page was mysteriously deleted yesterday. We are devastated to have lost touch with over 1,300 Calico customers, fans, and friends, and we are e-mailing with FB in the hopes we’ll get it back up soon. If and when we do, we’ll be sure to let you know! Until then, you can find our NEW Facebook here.

Cute Window Sketch by Cody Nowell


We started with the bold pattern fabric–found at our beloved local Ikea.


Next, Cody found an awesome tissue paper flower-making tutorial via Martha Stewart.

Cody suspended the flowers from fishing line and added some astroturf from Building 19–so it looks like the tissue paper blossoms are sprouting on invisible stems from this grassy flower box.

We finished off the installation with a coordinating vintage dress…


…and two of Cody’s adorable floral headbands for our smaller window!

Yay spring!!!

You can check out this window, in person, at our downtown New Bedford storefront until the end of May!

Our resident window-dresser and merchandiser-extraordinaire, Cody Nowell, did a bang-up job designing and installing this display. We love the spooky Halloween feel it has at night!

You can check out this window at Calico (173 Union St, downtown New Bedford, MA) until mid-November!

Stay tuned for our holiday window!…
