Paris window shopping off the back of a lorry.


While walking back to our apartment along Rue Joseph de Maistre in Montmarte we stopped at this window display at number 17, we couldn't decide what it was actually selling and with it being closed we couldn't ask.The name 'Tombées du Camion' didn't really help either! I have since done a little research and apparently it specializes in the sale of toys parts from the beginning of the last century, it offers unfinished doll heads straight out of an abandoned factory of the 30's  and you can also find doll's eyes made of glass, pearls to make jewels,lead typo of all sizes but also a wide choice of buttons, earrings and necklaces. The prices however are apparently very much of today, so be warned!
