every time I walk by or
through this door.

  3. I have fond memories of the hardware store when I was young! The creak of the hardwood floors and the mixed smells of auto grease and metal.

  4. Webradio,
    merci, vous êtes très aimable!

    Seamus,
    imagine, I have found more than one of these oldfashioned hardware stores already, here in Vienna! The people who work there are so very helpful and knowledgable too. I hope the Viennese people hold on to these treasures, and continue to shop there.

    Willow,
    I remember one particular hardware store, from when I was a very little girl. I imagined it to be a pirates' cavern, so many treasures to discover there, a truly magical place! It was located on the groundfloor of an 18th century building. Nowadays, a contemporary furnished café that offends the taste is located there.
