The lovely shop frontage, absolutely, intrigues and draws you in. Is that exterior bluey-green paintwork the famous 'Eau De Nil' of Art Nouveau? I'm so delighted to discover that the sign writer of the shop frontage was a chap I knew so well at school. We vied as little adolescents as to the most worthy classical composers. He argued for Beethoven and Brahms. I stuck singularly to Mozart. Clearly, 'the baton' (his marl stick) paid off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807915524509627146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-29781448917621441102010-12-31T08:29:51.459+00:002010-12-31T08:29:51.459+00:00Many thanks Doug.

We went their just before Christmas and just spending time there was a present.<br /><br />Warning to the casual browser, though, if you don't see something, ask. The shop is packed full and things can be tucked away where you will miss them. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.<br /><br />Dougdougmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019677504969287482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-87175873756325300142007-05-22T20:46:00.000+00:002007-05-22T20:46:00.000+00:00Hi Katherine,I've noticed the same problem with ar...Hi Katherine,<BR/><BR/>I've noticed the same problem with art supply shops here in Toronto. The available stock for fine artists seems to be replaced with supplies for the hobby artist. I asked the manager of the store I shop at and she had this to say. "Today, half the artists that used to shop for supplies now create their art digitally and we've lost them for good. And those who still practice their craft the traditional way are seeking out their specialized supplies on-line". The retailers feel they are losing foot traffic and have supplemented their stock with crafter supplies. I ran out of acrylic Naples yellow this morning and had to go to three stores and all I could find was a tiny jar. Very disappointing.BAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393783086276442994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-8829102992597632092007-05-22T00:31:00.000+00:002007-05-22T00:31:00.000+00:00Ann Fortenberry left me this comment - for which m...<B>Ann Fortenberry</B> left me this comment - for which many thanks.
