ABC Wednesday "D" is for 'dangerous'

Isn't this a lethal-looking display? I took this photo on a Sunday when this "oštrač" (sharpener's) shop was closed. I love the sign that reads (literally translated) "Sharpener of tailor's and hairdresser's scissors." Just below that it reads "manicure." Hmm.... I think I'd prefer to go to the salon a few doors down.

A very sharp post :). Window with an ax, clever - and left in the window. Goes to show, it's not something that a merchant would risk leaving in the window here.
I like the meat grinder. I remember useing those when my mom made sarma, punjene paprike, ajvar.

That is how I like about European city. We will never able to find a place to sharpen knief,scissors, etc. in an American shopping mall. In Taipei, I can still find one but I need to go to the traditional market or old part of the town.

That's funny.
I think he had trouble finding the right "padez" for "manikir" scissors :)

tee hee i agree.

Pat said...

Hi, Anonymous Branka! I was wondering if any Serbian-speaker would notice this! He could have put 'manikirskih' and made it all clear and not worrisome! :>)

Chuck Pefley said...

Does give "finger-nail clipper" a whole new meaning -:)

Kris McCracken said...

People used to go around sharpening things on the back of little carts didn't they?

That'd be an interesting job.

THE MARKET AFTER HOURS

 Merchants have all packed up and gone home....
