Mom & Rachelle :: Marshall Field’s ‘Snow White’ Holiday Windows, The Loop, Chicago

Between dinner and going to the theater my mom and I went to Marshall Field’s to look at the holiday windows. This year’s theme is Snow White. As you walk around the north, west & south sides of the building you see bits of the story in each window. I don’t have photos of all of the windows, but you get the idea. I was impressed that the windows were as well done as Macy’s holiday windows, which are world reknown.

    hey rachelle - just a heads up, that last photo isn’t showing up in firefox, just alt text. viewing just that image gets a big ole “The image “http://www.rachelleb.com/images/2004_12_11/mom_shell.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.”

    just letting ya know :)

    I’m just a visitor now and then. How come you don’t have the archives anymore? I don’t often get to get on your site and I like to back track to see the chains of events. :(
    These pictures are very nice! Happy Holidays!
