I went to my favourite shop in Vienna recently. I think it's what you call a hardware store. I'm not entirely sure because there are so few of these places left. It is not part of a chain. It's just a store selling small goods you need in the kitchen or in the garden. Pots, pans, glasses and mugs, sieves, knives, kettles, heart shaped baking forms

That's not the one with the knife you told us about, is it?

(I love these shops as well.... :-))

the knife I told oyu about? eh? i don't think i know what ou are referring to.

[sunneschii]

I was sure it was you who told us (P and me) the story with the knife sharpening....

[verenka]

AH! *That* shop. Messerkönig. No that is a shop that sells only knives and sharpens them. And it has a sales person with the most beautiful voice ever. Once, at one of my favourite clubs, I saw him and he smoked dark brown cigarillos, maybe that's the secret of his voice.. :-D

"Seriously, I want to marry this shop and move in with it. It's perfect."
All the other shops will be jealous, now.

they don't have to be. I'll still visit them as well and check out their stuff. But my heart belongs to the hardware store.

du wirst doch nicht meine Leidenschaft für mehr oder weniger nützliche Küchenutensilien geerbt haben? Übrigens, bist du mit dem Julienne Schneider zufrieden?

good idea! then you won't have to carry those 10 kilos of soil and pots and watering cans...

I love the little independants. The shopkeepers have such a good knowledge of their products, and when you go back, almost always remember what you asked about the previous time
