One World, One Heart - A Global Event
I am participating in the One World, One Heart event. This was dreamed up by A Whimisical Bohemian, and is l believe in its third year. If you visit her blog, she has a full list of participants on her sidebar. Basically all you have to do is visit a participating blog, leave a comment and you will be entered into a draw. Some participants are offering several gifts. No catches. No gimmicks. No sales. No links. In the One World, One Heart event I am offering to one lucky winner the following two gifts... a Vintage 1960's silk scarf signed 'Richard Allan' & a Vintage 1960's Glitzy Evening Party Bag The event close on 15th February 2010 and l will announce FFF's winner then.
Did you Photoshop that, or is it really in the window? Either way, it's amusing, charming, and so appropo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming view you have.
ReplyDeleteWith Miss Hepburn living just across the street from you and apparently watching everything you do... looks like big adventures are in store.
Looks like Audrey Hepburn! What a cool way to liven up a window in a place that looks just like everyone else's! Love it! :D
ReplyDeleteHad to come right back as I had a thought.
ReplyDeleteGet a photo of Cary Grant looking back at her! Never know what might come of it! lol
Picture 2 looked really creepy until it became clear in Picture 3 who it was. Why has someone done this? A friend of mine has a full-size blow-up version of Cliff Richard. I will suggest this to her.
ReplyDeleteCharming! All you're missing is a trip to Tiffany.
ReplyDeleteHolly Golightly as I live and breathe! What a beauty she was...lovely post, Saz

At first, it was a bit creepy. Still not sure if it's not a little creepy. Yes, she's pretty, but it reminds me of something out of an old fashion horror movie.
ReplyDeleteNot particularly fond of it. I'm do apologize. I am the scary type. :-D
Slightly unhinges me... (but, then, not far to go there.)
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Chiswick! W4 3DQ
(sigh, good memories...)
i'm not sure that's a woman but I love the building.
ReplyDelete~rick
Oh, too, too perfect!!! Love it!!! You are in perfect company! I KNEW that such a Classy Lady like you would fit right in!!!! Such a beautiful neighborhood for a beautiful lady!!! You are wonderful! And this post just makes me grin from ear to ear!! Love you!!! Janine XOXO
ReplyDeleteOkay...so I'm laughing hysterically over Leslie's suggestion...just had to say...~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! Will she sit there all day and night or do you figure she'll just wait until dark? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful photo! Must cheer everyone up to see Hepburn gazing out over the street!
ReplyDeleteI like that! Cosy street.
ReplyDeleteNow all you need is a pair of binoculars!
Nuts in May
Just poped by to see how u were doing
ReplyDeleteHappy to see the humour in tact , the unpacking almost done, gin drinking proceeding and life being redirected
Be bold xxx
Wasn't she gorgeous! I love it, did you see her after you had taken the photo?
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence - over the weekend I rang my Folks. Dad answered ans said Mum was watching a film, "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
ReplyDeleteMum phoned when it was over, telling me she'd never seen it before. Yet I've seen it at least twice on TV while still living at home.
Cary Grant or Gregroy Peck for your window? Or something completely different and at even more beautiful! (like yourself, dear Saz)
Yikes!
ReplyDeleteHave you met the person across the way? Looks like she (he?) might have a good sense of humor.
Haven't spotted Lord Lucan in there as well have you?
ReplyDeleteI love that!!
ReplyDeletecongrats on POTW
Not sure how I missed this super post .. but I am back after reading Hilary's to say Congrats on the
ReplyDeletePOTW mention!
Great photos. Congratulations on the potw. Certainly, the effect is odd. On the other hand, no stranger than a neighbor zooming in at your window, taking photographs, and posting them for all the world.
ReplyDeleteWe'll let that part slide ;-) Everyone is insane, once you really get to know them.
Haha! How marvelous, a little bit startling for you, but an added smile to the day, eh?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little area you live in, and I love the Hepburn window treatment!
There was a big craze here...on gosh...back when my son was little, so a while back, where people would have cardboard cut out cats or dogs that they stuck in windows. Just a photo of a cat or a dog, pasted onto cardboard. They were rather popular decorations. Then the same company decided to the same thing with a crawling baby!!
So you'd see things like "Baby crawling off of rooftop." "Baby apparently clinging upside down to window frame." Hehe, very startling!
That's what your post brought to mind. My favorite was someone who'd mounted their roof with the cat cutout, and so from the right angle, it looked as if the cat was throwing itself into the chimney.
Scary when you first see that!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY VIEW. Who is she indeed?
ReplyDeleteSx
congrats on the POTW...and how do you sleep knowing she is staring at you? smiles.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the POTD Award!
ReplyDeleteLove the wit behind that face in the window.
I have seen a similar setup not so long ago. Is there some Secret Society of Breakfast at Tiffany's fans? Where there's Holly, there's breakfast? Or is it diamonds stashed away? As Holly would say, "Oh, golly gee damn!" :-)
I think she likes what she sees...she is smiling...
ReplyDeleteI do see her. But I expected to see Erin :)!
ReplyDeleteWhoever lives there has a great sense of humor. Fun for all the passers-by.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Post of the Week mention from Hilary. This is a very fun post. Love the window-owner's sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
jj
I LOVE this! What a great find. Is that Audrey??
ReplyDeleteWonderful POTW mention!
How funny, Audrey's keeping an eye on you!
ReplyDeleteCatherine
You live in a picturesque neighborhood. I once thought about being the only person awake in a New York neighborhood. Would that be lonely?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great fun to play with the computer...I would materialize some tall, dark and handsome man
ReplyDelete( nice ), with lots of money, and a truly charming personality, if I could, but alas, there are limitations!
I presume George Peppard lives around the corner? Great fun; congratulations on your POTW from Hilary!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting window decor! Congrats on your POTW with Hilary!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what to say first time around - but now I've come back for another look and I see everyone is having a good go at it. Lots of great ideas for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you thinking of putting in your window now besides a red lava lamp?
The title of this post made me stop, of course, and all that it entails. And this movie, that I have just recently watched for the first time, holds a great deal of significance for me. What a great surprise to see this...for you to have seen this.
ReplyDeleteHope you're well Saz. I have to check in!

That's great. Bet it spooked you at first though. ;0) xx
ReplyDeletechic mama and all- truly spooked me at first, as l let out a crooked screech actually....then a laugh...always thought the film lovely but slighty over hyped on plot etc...but the stle oh the style...
ReplyDeletel think it is a screen actually as sometimes you can just see her against the wall..it is a lovely novelty though...
LOL-that was funny. Beautiful pics.
ReplyDeletevery cool,but what is it?!!!
ReplyDeleteyou go saz! new lingerie is a great way of making oneself feel wonderful!!! - and sexy too!
