Prolific Knick-Knack Collection

Prolific knick-knack collection housed in one kiosk of Saint Michel flea-market contains probably hundreds of assorted baubles, a myriad of different objects most fragile some not.

It certainly makes for a very interesting image of a treasure trove of creativity manufactured all over the globe some local although not much.

Amongst all are also paintings mostly cheap framed reproductions imitating real art, assorted ceramic vases, blown glassware, die-cast frames with mirrors, ceramic figurines, cups, novelties, lamps with stands, a French language For Sale cardboard, chandeliers etc.

This is my contribution for WP weekly photo challenge:”PROLIFIC”.
