I have
always loved multiples and collections of various objects…I think things look
more interesting if there are varieties of them…perhaps that is just my excuse
to buy lots of pairs of shoes (and bags, lipsticks, vintage shoe forms, vintage
spools…ok there is quite a list)
While in Munich I was snapping
away and loved the great displays and merchandise that was there. There were
shops that were totally dedicated to selling brushes, another would just sell
tights…and I loved that! I feel that department stores and giant retail stores
take away the specialness (don’t think that is a real word but you get me) of
having unique specialized stores. So bring back butcher,
the baker,
and the candlestick-maker
and let them all do what they are great at…and leave me to do the collecting.
