How long since you've seen a shop with merchandise (clothes) all behind the counter? I saw plenty like this here and later in Olomouc also, especially "supermarkets" like this in Olomouc
Fancy goods store, aka home of haberdashery and fanrastic plastic like earrings that musthave been in the shop since the 80s and beads and other goodies, all super cheap.
cake time!

The window for another great haberdashery. Beads galore, bargain prices, how could I resist?
