flowery windows

 a couple of windows that stood out in the old part of the city of coimbra.
every other door in these streets shows traditional hadcrafts. mostly doilies, and tableclothes with beautiful motifs and blue painted ceramics.
when you'd look up, however, you'd notice these lovely windows, it's flowers and it's curtains.
there's something wonderfully precious about decorating the outside (or even the inside) of windows with flowers.
