An odd window in the Marais
A plastic lobster and starfish,
a small world globe,
a jar of coral,
two cast metal crawfish,
a basket of shells,
an antique chest,
and...
a dead stuffed bird.
One never knows what one will find in Paris.

Sorti de la malle de Darwin ?
That's what we call here "un cabinet de curiosités", a place where to show things that seem strange , travel memories , natural items , etc.. Comes from the XIXeme when people began to travel and to be interested by the world.
I hear a revision to "The twelve days of Christmas" whispering in my ears, Genie.
*** love Alain comment!
It's a beautiful window shop!

Bizarre indeed ... The glasses with the fossil designs are also intriguing!
It's eclectic and I like it!
Love the metal crawfish!
Odd indeed, but interesting. :). It never would occur to me to display items like those together!
Was going to say exactly what Kate said!
(And I loved your chimney pots yesterday—the job is taking up way too much of my blog-visiting time these days.)
Very nice display.
Very eclectic collection!
Love the whimsy in this photo.
