I need help - not mentally!!!!!

I am in desperate need of inspiration. Candylottie is half way through changing the window display and has come to a grinding halt. The colour scheme is pink, white and purple and we need something quite tall for the corner but can't think of anything.

Does ANYONE have any ideas!!!!

Please we are desperate.

Have you got any tall outdoor pots? Or a tall vase? pot-fill with soil, stick a birch trunk (obviously a thin one!) in it, drill a few holes in the trunk and stick pink or purple 'sticks' in the holes. (an artsy summer kind of accessoire!)
vase- let a long piece of fabric fall from the ceiling stright down into the vase, or just down onto the floor and place the vase filled with ? pink or purple stuff!!
I'm a big fan of fabric...but not all drape-y and scrunchy, more straight pieces hanging down from ceiling to floor.

Or...pile up a few IKEA Lack tables on top of each other, fill with ...whatever!
Have fun!!

Its been a while since I had a window to play in but how about a big vase of willow/corkscrew hazel with some artificial flowers in your colours wired/glued on? We did it once with artificial gerberra and it looked like a gerberra tree with lovly twisty branches? Or you could just hang some nice fabric in a big drift from the ceiling and pool it at the bottom - thats always a good way to "draw the eye" to what you have on the bottom - maybe pin on a few butterflies or something? Another thing we used to do was upturn the big square black buckets under some fabric to use a platform for a nice tall arrangement on top - dont know if thats any help - others might have some better ideas!
