Great picture! Wonderful capture Bibi!
belle boutique que celle de Geppetto
Indeed .You would just expect Pinoccio to walk through that store.Fantastic;)
This definitely is Old World. I wish there were a few Gepettos around my area. It seems everything is disposable and no one wants anything remade.
Love this colorful picture.
I like your photo it is very colorful. And yes that remind me of Pinocchio too.

I agree with you, I do like your candid portrait of him... in his element.
Oh yeah the popular geppetto, I so love your photo!
G is for Gorgeous Gladiola

I thought shoemakers a thing of the past. Great capture!
Cool colors. They look elegant and expensive. Does he actually make them?

Great photo!
Oh I am jonzing for those emerald suede flats
What a fantastic capture and shot!!
love it.
G is for...
We are in need of a lot of Geppettos like this one!
What a great shot of this master craftsman... tell Daryl that she's going to have to fight me for that pair!

FABULOUS shot, Bibi! Did you tell him you took the photo? Gepetto was my late husband's favourite Disney character and I still have his favourite Gepetto Christmas mug to this day. Have a great week,

I adore this photo, and think your interpretation of "G" is the most clever one I've seen! Gepetto - just brilliant!
so sweet:-
