Being abroad always makes me see things in a different way, a sort of filofax of the stuff I love that colours what I come across.
With Flash and Buck on my mind, I was chuffed to see a restaurant named Wilma. Wilma Wunder i.e. Wilma Wonder!
At first glance. I thought these were cola cans but they're candles. Candles for graves. Keeping relatives graves in decent order for 25 years is mandatory in Germany, so millions of these are sold, especially for feast days and All Hallows.
As everywhere, Wednesday fever is rife and the Adams Family daughter merchandising machine is in full swing now Halloween looms. Here's some Kaugummi or chewing gum.
Somewhere I have the autograph of the original Wednesday from the 1960's on this big Adams game picture card. I got it to spice up my old vintage toy stall.
In another shop I clocked these Fooßball players now turned into much less lively fridge magnets. A sort of suspended retirement!
In the same arty shop were these statues. For some reason I immediately thought of David Wies All the Madmen, the line Where the Thin Men Stalk the Streets and the Saints lay Underground coming to life!
Finally in this European medley I saw these small sofas.
I wonder if the C21 team would have bought one - or all - of these off the shelf jobs and save time?
