Parmentier Avenue

We came across this (closed) shop on our way home today. It was filled with broken dolls...there were newspaper articles in the window about the man who had owned it and fixed the dolls but he died several years ago and it wasn’t clear if it was still operating. (It didn’t look like it!)
time stopped

@hrs yes! It was like a time warp.

Yes it does look like time has stopped there. Would be fascinating to learn more. What beautiful dolls

@seacreature there were some lovely old dolls (and some that were a bit creepy!)

It seems like dolls are either very charming or very creepy. Either way it looks like there’s a lot of people still waiting for their dolls.
