I'm missing my daily shots, so here are a couple that would have been part of my 365 project if I were doing one this year.
I enjoy taking urban decay shots, and that's not hard to do along this stretch of Yonge Street. This storefront has been sitting vacant for several months - time flies, so I'm not sure exactly how long.
The half scale version of our very popular Victorian Storefront is approximately 8 1/2" wide, 5" ceiling, 5 1/2" deep. Has all the same beautiful decorations the original does - only smaller.
This is the shop that I had a trunk show at on March 1st. I love The Muse in Frederick, MD. I regularly sell out of this shop.
Corner #3 of the store side. I'm standing at the top of a ramp that I want to remove (if it's legal according to ADA requirements - since customers won't be going between the store and studio, I'm hoping it is).
