hats

It's coooold outside! Time to get my winter hat out. Or buy a new one, perhaps from this zany little hat shop on Froschaugasse...

"rubber duckie, you're the one...

...you make bathtime lots of fun..."

window display at a housewares store in the Old Town

evil red gnome #13

Seems like I've unintentionally started a photo series on the window display at a specific hair salon. Not exactly sure what it is about these dolls--they're simultaneously cute and evil looking, but they make me smile. I don't even go to this salon, I just walk by often.

space guys

The same hair salon that had Chuckie look-alike dolls in their window display a few months ago, now has these little space dudes. Aren't they cute?

look familiar?

You may remember this car from a previous post. Apparently it is on loan from the antique shop where it usually resides, and is being used as part of a display for a jewelry store on ritzy Banhofstrasse (Zürich's own version of 5th Avenue). The price tag on the car: 12,500 francs (approx $10,100). The jewelry in the display is comparably priced: 11,200 francs (approx. $9,000) for the orange necklace in the foreground. So, would you rather spend your money on a) an antique pedal car, b) jewelry, or c) none of the above? If you had 12,500 francs to spend on whatever you want, what would you buy?

dolls on display

Another interesting window display--at a hair salon, of all places. They're cute, though they have this evil gleam in their eyes...

blue antique

The car in the window display of this antique shop caught my eye. I really liked the color.
