Welcome to Morocco

If a premise does not have show windows, what to do? Well, put your wares out in the front yard. I had passed by this exotic looking exhibit on Grove Street a number of times in a car but never up close to see what those objects were, though I did take the picture above back in July. Today, a long (for me) walk and first hand inspection.

With a name like Marrakesh, it's a natural for this shop to carry rugs (below). In fact, when I first got a glimpse of the colorful yard, I figured most of those items were rugs.

How wrong I was. The colorful objects are tiled fountains. Obviously heavy enough that they aren't going to be shop-lifted.

Here's a close up of the benches in front of the fountains above.

A free-standing fountain, also completely tiled. Below, a view of a fountain basin.

I like the critter-spigots.

These gaudy lanterns are also hanging at the front of the Grove Street building, tho I noticed that in the first picture, taken in early July, there were more objects on display than I found of a late Saturday afternoon.
