Frighteningly, I chose to post this image today, and it didn't even occur to me to check until now, but it was exactly a year ago that I posted two other views of this same sign. I must be spinning my wheels.

Illuci from Netherlands

Nice colors, but I wouldn't buy my gifts there, I would give them a pot of paint :)

@Illuci: Funny, I don't think they sell many gifts these days. The one time I went in the store a few years ago, I found the owner distinctly unfriendly. Thanks, Illuci!
