For this weeks post I take a little stroll by some of the shops in Downtown Milford.

I took these shots about a week or so ago when I decided it had warmed up to about freezing point and I needed to get out and get some shots so I went for a walk around as I was going nuts not taking photos, and I knew after my little procedure on Friday Last week I would have to be sensible and take it easy and not be carrying my camera for at least a week to let the stitches heal, and I have been good with that not even carrying my camera into the city with me and I must say it has been so frustrating we have had such nice weather this week with the temperature even hitting 60 on Tuesday this week.
This first shot is a signboard for some of the shops in Downtown Milford, you can see there is quite a variety of stores and it is a fun area to walk around.

This shop is just down from the signboard, and sells clothing, but I think the name for it is cool, but for me the name would be more apt for an electronics or gadget store, when in those especially with Lulus son Mark I find myself often saying why not get it lOL

And right beside we have this shop the Blank Space Gallery which always has some cool and often funky art on display, I always check out whats on display there whenever I walk around downtown

And now for a shop that is on the cool Signboard, I shared as the first photo, SV Decker fine Jewelry store, and I have been in this one also, they do have some really nice items in there, I thought you might be bored with color images so did a mono edit with this one.

And finishing off with Sophie Claires, which as you can see from the Sign has quite a variety of items in there, I tried to make this shot looked like an aged photo, for no other reason than I thought it worked with this shop, I have no idea why I felt that but I went with it
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

If there's one thing I love about small towns that's probably they're small stores and they are interesting signage. sometimes it's kitschy and sometimes it's clever.
I love the colors of your food and the cute way that is set up. It makes it a pleasure to wander through even though you may not intend to buy anything, some of these places just beckon you to come in. They don't even need words.
thank you so much for your always kind words for being part of #MarketFriday. Your posts are always fun and uplifting tk wander through!
I appreciate the ti.e and effort spent on putting these posts together.
Upped and steemed

Small businesses....I love them. The unique ideas, merchandise, names....so individual. This would e a great area for a Saturday when you had some time and a little extra cash.
The last little shop does have an old fashioned feel to it I think, too.

Is Milford a big tourist town or is it just a nice little town on the coast? Just curious. It looks like a really quaint little place to visit.

NO its a small City, infact in one of the City Signs and slogans is The Small City with a big Heart
Quaint is a word i use often to describe it

Indeed some cool shops here but sadly some are vacant here as well the small stores are struggling these days

Howdy tonight JJ! Well I hate to see the small businesses go under but that's what I hear is going on, struggling, no matter where.

Ye sit is sad to see, I touch in that in a post tomorrow but its not only the small ma and Pa stores that are struggling even some of the big chains are shutting down, the convenience of shopping online is hitting so many businesses

Yes sir it's a major problem and I don't know what the answer to fix it is, or maybe there isn't one. In most cases the profit margins of stores is so small that taking just a few percentage points away by online sales is enough to ruin the business.

Yes thats so true and like you I am not sure there is a real fix, I know of a couple of places who closed up shop, and now sell through Amazon, so I guess that is good that they can still operate, but call me old school I much prefer going into a shop to see touch and then buy, rather than ordering from photos online

I agree but I suppose more people care about price and speed than going and seeing the products physically. I don't know, in another ten years we might not recognize this place or the way commerce is done!
