Greetings @qwerrie ,
What a story...thank you for taking Hive with you...we enjoyed it!
Lovely photographs...quite holiday-ish....the coffee cups and saucers for sale in the shoppe are so very delightful...I looked straightaway for one with a ballerina...and there she was...Voila!
Happy to hear you have access to such a beautiful Art Nouveau Style building...which does lend a very elegant atmosphere to one's experience indeed.
Thank you for a lovely evening stroll.
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
Grazie! Christmas time is indeed a shopping time, there s so much temptations flowing around. I can hardly restrain myself from buying things I like. I would buy myself, my wife, my niece, and my boss at work - each a cup! but that has happened before, I know for sure that they are overflowing with such things and it will not please them, and I am not (on the contrary) happy with cleaning the house and getting rid of an abundance of things... It remains to enjoy them on display - well, and creating digital copies is also a kind of way to get rid of the temptation of shopping; and here I invite you to join me in this innocent pleasure.
Art Nouveau is my great love!!! the city of St.Petersburg can offer a lot of stuff of this kind (in the architectural field). Some places are restricted or impossible to sneak in, but some are available for free.
