How do you feel about shopping?
Does poking around in a store
make your heart go pitter patter.......
Or does the mere thought of stepping into a retail establishment give you chest pains?

As much as I appreciate the ease of 

click-click-put-it-in the-cart-have-it-delivered-just-open-the-front door-online shopping,
I'm a sucker for a charming storefront........
one that lures me right in.......
holding promises of trinkets, jewelry, gourmet foods, knick-knacks, clothing, 
gadgets, souvenirs, gag gifts, curiosities, objets de art.........
or who knows???



I've put together a collection of interesting storefronts from around the world
that have enticed me to walk through their doors.
