Snail shells in a shop in Naumburg (Saale)
This window in Naumburg (Saale) shows works created by an artist. I was impressed by this compilation of snail shells which made me think I’m looking at a showcase in a museum of natural history.
Lederhaus Schliesselberger in Salzburg
Since 1422 tanners have been working at the address Lederergasse 5 in Salzburg. At the same address, there is still a shop run by the family Schliesselberger selling goods made of leather. During opening hours you can visit a fascinating detail of Salzburg: In a room on the 1st floor, there are some frescoes probably dating back to the mid of 16th century.
Frauenzimmer & Männersache in Vienna
Have you ever shopped in a shop owned by a burlesque dancer? I discovered such a shop in Vienna lately. The shop run by an Austrian dancer offers vintage dresses for ladies and gentlemen. They even offer vintage makeup. Not really using the ingredients of the old times but the colours. Well, who of you would love to celebrate this New Year’s Eve wearing a dress of the 20ties?
Shop Designqvist in Vienna
On my shopping tour through Vienna this shop was my first big surprise. A whole shop about Scandinavian flatware. My first thought: If one is interested in design of kitchen ware a visit at the MAK (Museum of Applied Arts) and at this shop would be a great idea.
Bread store in Nuremberg
I had known Nuremberg is famous for its Lebkuchen but I was surprised how many sorts of bread this bread store (Feinkost Nikolaus Schwarz) is offering. Amazing how different the outer crusts and the crumbles of each loaf look like. And yes, I always love a good piece of bread. What about you?
Man with antler for sale
The advantage of being shortsighted: You see many things other people won’t see. My first impression after entering the shop: Hey, they are selling a man with an antler!
