Kerrisdale Holiday Window Contest Winner Announced In the end it was unanimously agreed that a new business to the area, Nestings, had the most beautiful display. This fashionable children’s shop, features all the items required to feather the nest of new arrivals. Taking this theme a step further they designed one window in shades of blue and the other in pink, including lights. The end result is lovely and could compete with any stylish shop on New York’s Madison Avenue.
Pictured above is KBA President Colin Holyk (Kerrisdale Pharmacy) with Nestings employees Sherry Jeffery and Yann Berube. The window design was created by store Manager Tracy Pederson. We are sure that store owners JJ Scott and Deanna Aquilini are very proud of their most creative “flock”!
