the treasure in a finnish shop window


It began with a journey.

For reader and collector Arto.

A trip to a small town in Finland.

Just follow the signs.

To visit a lovely little antique shop in an age-worn wooden house on an all-but abandoned street.

On arrival the shop windows were brimming with vintage bric-a-brac. A good sign as always.

With goods hauled from the surrounding rural countryside, the shop has more than once offered up surprising offerings. 

For example it once revealed a wonderful lot of century-old candy containers and paraphernalia.

And so, to the latest visit ......

It was a lovely day.

A sign perhaps?

and already from afar the centerpiece in the shop windows was instantly recognisable!
