This is another "Darn--where's my camera?" photo taken on my cell phone when I didn't have my real camera. But I couldn't let this guy get away. Blagoje (BLAH-go-yeh, his name which has its root in the word "to bless") was walking along, calling out, "Needles! Scissors! Zippers!" and smiling all the while. I bought a pair of scissors that I didn't really need, since he was so cute. He let me take his photo and made me promise to send him a photo, which I will happily do. I also admired his cleverness in using one of those pull carts to display his merchandise while he pushed it in front of him, and to store it in when he finished his daily rounds. His sign reads:- Needles...!!!
- sewing needles
- sewing machine needles
- crochet needles
- knitting needles
- tapestry needles
- safety pins
- carpet needles
Blagoje has it all. I especially like the fact he also sold bandaids, and he treated me to a pack when he wrapped up my scissors. Do I look like a klutz??
