Happy feet

There are television programmes about disturbed people who horde stuff to the point they can scarcely ascend their stairs or open doors into their rooms. But to open a shop for this sort of thing! It's either inspired and enterprising or hopeless and doomed to failure. I'd bet on the latter. This could become a major photographic resource and project. But whatever you do, don't buy any of it and take it home (see first sentence, above).

This place has been going for years, TLC, so I guess it's inspiring and enterprising. A good source for crockery, apparently, and for items that can be made decorative.

Well, bless my soul. It's a mystery how they do it, but as the saying goes, where there's muck there's brass. Good news on the jazz CDs though.

What a find! Fun to photograph and a nightmare for his wife and children, I suspect ...

Not as much of nightmare, Sarah, as a used bookstore I was in in St. Catharines, ON. I seriously felt that I should have a hard hat on there.

BTW I just posted something similar though of a lighter nature ...

The selection seems similar.

That's a great stillife, John ! A lot to see ! Nice find !

Thanks, Ulrich.

Crikey!

Your climbing skills might come in handy here, Andy.

Phenomenal capture!

Thanks, William.

Dadaist shot!

You're right, Bob. Duchamp would have signed the window.

I love this type of "detail" shot John............I find them really fascinating and I can spend hours rooting round in shops like that. You really never know what you're going to find - and that's the fun part..!!

You'd love this place, then, Keith. There's also a more demure shop with a similar selection a few doors away.

It would be interesting to be present when the shop owners carry out their annual stocktaking for accounting purposes!

It's actually easy, John:

"1 baseball. ripped
1 pen nib, disembodied
20 gross of thingummies"

this seller must be an artist ;-)

You may be right, Gabi. This window is always interesting.

A great still life, I'll admit it reminded me of William Sutherland's creations. :-)
