When the nights are long, cold and dark, it's nice to visit the shops and take in some of the sparkling warmth from the lights. Around Christmas the various stores in the city transform into warm harbors and shields from the cold outside. I took my camera with me during our recent visit to a home-decor store. Hopefully you will enjoy these, and I hope they will bring some warmth into your cold nights as well.

I really liked these purple-green-yellow decorations. Might even get them for my tree.
Some rather expensive artificial Christmas trees were in the middle of the store.
I love this little corner with many different things to discover.
Admittedly, I love snooping around home goods stores like this one. Especially when they offer unique looking nick-nacks and furniture.
So many to choose from...

Have a great weekend ahead.
What is lighting up your days in the dark season?

It's refreshing to see all those bright colours this time of year, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat shop looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing array of color. Color is so important at this time of year. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteI love shops like this, and searching through all the little stacks, and corners.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a shop I would consider entering but I enjoyed a look round with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks. To be honest, I couldn't imagine you there either :)
DeleteDear Marsad - In the long and cold night, it’s quite natural for people to head for somewhere warm, bright, and colorful like these lovely shops, restaurants, cafes, and of course for sweet home. I enjoyed strolling the shops around with you.
ReplyDeleteYoko
the colors on that first christmas tree were like carnival / mardi gras. :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly found a wonderful place to get in out of the cold. So much eye candy in one place. Stores like are wonderful to browse around and find hidden treasures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy for your visit.
DeleteWhat a great store to browse in. The colors brighten up a cold winter night. Home goods stores are some of my favorite to visit - lots of inspiration there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking place! Thank you for taking us shopping with you!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really nice shop. I love the littel shiny and sparkling things. OMG lucky that it´s not right at the corner :) Who would carry the chair in my livingroom?
ReplyDeletevery nice shop. i like to wander and look to... i am using candles to light up my spirits. i love candle light
ReplyDeleteLove all the colorful decorations you found in the shops. Thanks for the advice on getting rid of the word verification box on my blog. I have since changed settings and it works great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking shop!! Your captures are delightful as always, Mersad, and so full of the holiday spirit! Looks like a great place to shop for the holidays, too!! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteCandles! I do love candles. I also have the little Christmas lights plugged in, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an appealing store. I visited a similar one in Columbus on my visit of the past few days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color. I would find so much to look at in a store like this.
ReplyDeleteI like the colours on the shelves.
ReplyDeleteI just love all the colors! Pretty decorations for the home and the Christmas tree.. I would like this store.. Great shots, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteLet's drag Adrian inside! :) nice shots!
ReplyDeleteOnly kicking and screaming, I'm afraid. :)
DeleteAlso in dem Geschäft würde ich wahrscheinlich auch stundenlang stöbern. Ich liebe all diese Weihnachtsdekorationen....
ReplyDeleteWünsche dir ein schönes Adventswochenende und sende herzliche Grüsse

You did a real nice job of capturing the ambiance of this store and the Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteYou might have an alternative career in advertising, Mersad! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Glad you enjoyed these.
DeleteWhat great pictures. I would be in my element browsing round that lovely store ... broke too, I imagine.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping at this time of year...especially when I have a little set aside to buy something for myself as well as those on my gift list.
ReplyDeletei think one can stroll a few hours in such a shop, while dreaming about how dressing up your christmastree, what decoration you will put in (indeed, those purple-green-yellow balls are very special)...choosings presents..... ect. ect.
ReplyDeletehave fine eekend Mersad, greetings, Hilde
:)
ReplyDeletedas ist clever - wenn es kalt ist, kann man sich so wunderbar aufwärmen und dabei noch Weihnachtsgeschenke einkaufen. Sehr schöne Bilder, wobei das Licht und die Stimmung sehr gut eingefangen.
Liebe Adventsgrüße von Senna
Brighter colours than here!! I love that tree in the last image - all green and orange!!
