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!)

I wonder what will become of them :(

[narayani]

@hrs yes! It was like a time warp.

@merrelyn The owner has been gone several years...it was an odd little scene.

I love this shot, and such a sad story, a great find!

[narayani]

@jodies thanks Jodie...I wish I could have read the article

[Desi]

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

[narayani]

@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.

@beckyk365 there were boxes of them Becky...I wish we could have read the articles on the window to know what was going on.
