Great knockers

Yeh, sorry that title was a suggestion I was compelled to use…

I’m going to Toulouse this weekend for the second time in my life and, equipped with some local knowledge gleaned from the last trip, I’m in the market for one of these hand door knockers that are on a lot of the city doors.

Do you think that pudgy fist is spooky? I still want one.

Since we’ve been talking superior European flea markets this week, I may as well show you some street toot I snapped that last trip too.

Mark my words, if I see a tartan trolley this time, there’s no chance it’s staying in France.

    Well, as I am the type who gets easily spooked, I would have to say that I find the hand door knocker a wee creepy, like severed doll’s head kind of creepy. That hand knocker and that black and white portrait of a lady in the third picture is just not for me.

    Well I just love those knockers and am on the lookout for one myself. I have photographed loads and they come in many different styles….some right hands, some left and the ring is not always on the same finger. If I come accross two anywhere, the second one’s for you.

      Thanks so much! I failed in my Toulouse mission, but next time I too will look out for a pair.
