Multiples

 

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.
