What a treasure you stumbled upon! Shops like that are getting harder and harder to find. His sketches are amazing.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Angeliska.
The posts of your adventures, wonderful perspective on life, and great photos have entertained and inspired me since I accidently came across your blog years ago.
You might be interested to know that it was your blog that inspired me to start my own.

No! I have not been back because the store is GONE! They may still be around but not in that location anymore! I was alarmed to see it empty.
Oh I know a good story about shop owners sensing money...or not.
I had a grungy little artist friend who has sinced passed away from cancer, I'm sorry to say, but she wore torn paint covered jeans and drove a junker, but had just inherited about 3 million from the death of her parents in a terrible murder-suicide!
She went into a fancy Asian carpet store to buy a rug and the shop owner turned her nose up at the looks of her "not sensing money" and so my rich unassuming little friend bought elsewhere!
