Ruby Tuesday: Holiday Red
December 1, 2008 | Filed Under City Streets and Sidewalks, Holiday Decorations, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Ruby Tuesday
Located on Fifth Avenue, the watch and jewelry store, Cartier, is wrapped in a nice red bow.
Flags in front of the store have holiday greetings.
A crowd gathers in front of the Christmas window display. What attracts them to the window?
A display of bright red moving boxes. As each box moves towards the window, it opens and exposes a beautiful piece of jewelry. The crowd gasps and "oohs!" and "aahs!" Is it too late to send Santa an updated Christmas list. Is it too late to let him know that I’ve added a piece of Cartier jewelry or a watch to my list?
Check out WORK OF THE POET to see other photos with touches of red.

Yess! Cartier will do for me too.
I don’t know any Santa who will agree.
Han’t been that good.
Lovely exhibition though.

Glad to see the festive decorations! In our glum financial times it’s even more important for us to see them…
Wow! A building wrapped like a X’mas gift! So creative!
Extreme innovative idea to have gift wrapped the entire building
Oh my goodness, I love that first shot Paz!
Oh my goodness! Now that building is really cool! Never seen anything like that … very Christmassy!
Wow, talked about all Decked out!
The look of that building wrapped up for the ultimate gift is priceless. As is Cartier’s pricing structure…
Leave it to Cartier to do something tasteful yet spectacular. Brilliant marketing in that store window, keeping people glued to those boxes to see what’s next. Thanks so much for sharing these photos!
Wow–that’s pretty cool!
Oh wow.. it’s like the building is one big gift! So pretty!
My ruby entries are posted here and here. Please pass by if you have the time. Thanks!
Hi Paz
I love how Cartier wraps itself up like a Christmas package every year! I can’t wait to go to 5th Ave and see all the store windows this year…and the tree! Enjoy the season
Hugs, Pat
A little box with a big red bow! OH how pretty!
I’m so glad for your blog to take us to New York with all its Christmas trimmings!
Very nice Ruby Tuesday.
ooh, a big big present! i love the city at christmas!
Excellent post for Ruby Tuesday.
Fine and interesting sequence of images!
Great captures; you have a good eye.
I wouldn’t mind a Cartier either!
Love your photos this week! 
Mine is here.
I loved this post. Red is my favorite color and anything red just makes me happy and giddy!! I suppose that’s why Christmas is my favorite holiday, and why I spend a small fortune every time I go into a Target.
NYC is so magical during the holidays. I wish I could see that display with the boxes.
The red ribbon around the building is fantastic! And the moving red boxes is such a creative idea! Thanks for sharing those pictures with us, Paz. It wouldn’t be the same to just “tell” us about them – seeing them is just so much better!
Paz,
I thought Cartier made sales!
They are “generous” with decoration, at least.
It’s a wonderful post. I would almost like to enter in that shop.
Thanks to share your Christmas present, Paz.
I love it.
I would love to get that building as a present! clever idea!
Great choice for today’s post, indeed! How interesting idea it is to wrap the whole building in a red bow! Very attractive and impressive! Great shots especially the first one!
Love the red bow! This makes me miss NYC.
wowee…lots of shopping to be done!!! We have to buy lots of presents for Xmas, that’s the problem here, so many festivals to celebrate..all just need more money
Now that is some bow! I wonder how much material went into making it…
Now that is the kind of present I wish I could get the Darling Man to leave for me! LOL It must look very pretty on the streets there with all of the holiday decorations!
Wow what a great idea to pack a building and decorate it with a big red bow. And what a lovely sight that must be those moving red boxes showing cartier jewelry.
but how will that fit under my tree!!
wonderful shots
I miss the windows at B. Altman, they were the best
Ha, ha, amazing post with marvellous comment and astonishing photo- reportage!
Congratulations Paz!
Have you been a good girl?
Tempt your luck and write a letter to Sinterklaas.
You never know he’s in for a walk on the rooftops of New York for you?
Red brings in the mood! The big ribbon is pretty!
Nice shots. Brings back memories of my days in NYC. No Cartier for me, alas, but it is fun to look at. I used to love all the window decorations on Fifth Avenue.
NYC is looking mighty nice in red. NO! It’s definitely not to late to tell Santa that you’d like something from Cartier! Whether he’s listening or not is a totally different problem, though. Best of luck!
~He knows Paz~

~This photo is fantastic!~

THANKS, everyone, for stopping by!
Paz
luv this post and pictures, esp. the red boxes!!
ciao, Luis
Love that big red bow on the house. We’ve had something similar on one of our depertment stores previous years, such a nice, “simple” way to decorate I think. And the window display isn’t half bad either I suppose…;)
I love Christmas.
I like that big red bow on the building. I put one on my garage door every year. I’d like to see those moving boxes. That’s a pretty interesting display idea.
oh this is the time of year that I wished I lived there. To see the windows. I love the bow, and the moving boxes. And I would not mind some jewels from there. Love your photos
Paz: What a neat capture of the ribbon wrapped building, nicely done.
