Sandy Powell of Los Altos took first in the Window Fashions Envision Design Competition with these submissions.

Sandy Powell of Signature Draperies & Design, Los Altos, won first place in the top treatments category in the 20th annual Window Fashions Envision Design Competition, produced by Window Fashions magazine. Powell designed a cornice box for a 9-foot-tall window that mimicked the neckpieces of the adjacent jesters. Long, stuffed triangles, adorned with bells and gold trim, were attached to the box, while jester-ribbon tassels and colored crystals dangled from the box decorating the 9-foot-tall window.

The Jester Top Treatment was designed to complement the adjacent upholstered wallboards, decorated with Venetian masks and jester pieces, which Powell made herself.

Trophies were presented at the Window Fashions Envision Design Competition awards ceremony held April 6 in Atlanta, Ga.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

We’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do.

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
