Feels like the olde apothocaries in Holland, with the small brown paper sacks or cones of teas and herbs chosen from a wall of alphabetized cupboard drawers, Or Wafts like the old shoppes under the Edinburgh bridges, with the burlap sacks and spices and utensils for kitchens, all with live fire roastings, coffee beans, chestnuts, vanilla, And Transports me to the penny candy shops calling at me into their doors as I'm walking to school in S.
