This was in the window of a shop that I would pass by everyday, unfortunately for me the shop was always closed. A year passed this way, and one day the shop was open. As I was browsing and looking at price tags I thought most items were overpriced.

She had a reputation of not wanting to part w/ anything in her shop. I suppose that may be the reason for the perpetual CLOSED sign.
