Happy Sunday! Ritva is hosting her first official Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week and has chosen the theme of Window Shopping.
I’m not typically the type to window shop. So I have no picture to showcase when it comes to the topic of “Window Shopping”. I do, however, have plenty of photos of window displays.
This is one of them, taken with my phone on the day when I went to see the Christmas Light show. This gingerbread house display was in the lobby of an outlet mall, not necessarily trying to sell anything. It’s just a display to celebrate the holiday.
I showed this photo a few months ago. These are Maneki Neko, in case you’re not familiar. If the cat’s right paw is raised, then monetary fortune will be brought one’s way while the raised left paw signifies people (ie marriages) and health.
I bought a cute little fortune cat at a shop in Tokyo and discovered it was one of four. Last December, I found out Amazon was selling my cute little fortune cat’s brothers and sisters and decided to buy them all. I’m currently waiting for them to ship the fortune cats to me, which remains TBA.
Finally, here’s the window of a shop in Flagstaff, Arizona. I thought it was quite interesting to find a shop that sells crystal of any kind. I’ve always thought crystals are a sort of supernatural object or perhaps, I’ve just read too many books in this genre.
This is Another Story 
Love the cats, it is adorable – well taking shots of displays was one of the ways to tackle this challenge, So you did really well, lovely pictures

Haha, that was not from a shop but from a Christmas display. It was more like a shop for elves – teeny tiny. 😀

I love this, Yinglan, especially the Maneki Neko. Was tempted to get one while in Japan and then decided against it… 😦

Thank you. I merely use it as a decoration but I suppose the cat does bring a little bit of good omen.
