    Old Cars in Car Lots Feeling Antique Memories - Vehicles from 50s, 60s, 70s Rusting Away Visions of Once Running Beautiful Cars from Long Ago Car
    2008-05-16 10:12:41
    A guy friend who likes old cars. He is very into antique things in general but he buys then fixes cars up to sell again. Being around the cars I have been learning about old cars with going to many car lots lately. It is the first time I ever gone to a car lot with many old rusting away cars that were once so beautiful. It is almost sad to see these once stunning cars from the 50s, 60s, and 70s just rusting away. Being around all those old cars in the lot was one of the most interesting things I

    Furnish Home With Antique Furniture And Make Difference
    2008-05-02 13:49:01
    Even though the media around the world are doing their best to show us different there is still a massive amount of building work going on around the globe. Much of the construction that is going up is industrial and commercial building but a fair amount of the work is also residential building. As the population of the world grows then they have to be housed somewhere so it looks like the residential building boom will continue for some years to come yet. As we are all aware, with the population boom as well as the mass exodus from many of the poorer Eastern European countries to the wealthier countries within Europe this building work will need to continue for many years to come to satisfy the demands. The big problem with building on these sort of scales is that generally everything is built to a price point rather than a specification, this leads to mile after mile of the same looking houses being built all over the countryside with no discernible differences between any of them fr

    Antique Of The Week II
    2007-10-27 06:24:59
    This week's post was supposed to be a debate on the impact of public policy decisions on perceptions of prostitution in nineteenth century Britain but the English Courtesan is having a vacuous moment... So instead of filth, the English Courtesan brings the readers...wait for it...an antique footstool! The English Courtesan would undoubtedly be the first to recognise that footstools can in fact be fabulously filthy if you're a foot fetishist or small bottomed. The English Courtesan is smallish bottomed but she isn't a foot fetishist. She does however number one devotee to her pathologically thick-soled pedal extremities amongst her clients. More of that perhaps in a later post, subject to the foot fetishist's kind permission...Back to the filth, sorry, footstools! As the readers can see from the photo, this one is an absolute beauty. It's made of giltwood and dates from the nineteenth century. Usually the English Courtesan prefers her giltwood subtle, with perhaps a little English parcel gilt and walnut, but this one just shrieks with shockingly bouffant buy-me-ness. Not only is it upholstered in pastel pink with golden fronds, but it's graced with a louchely smirking Bacchus mask on each side too! What more could you possibly ask for in an antique footstool?The French were fond of giltwood at that time and they certainly liked a good bacchanal but to the English Courtesan the legs of the footstool look a bit too clumpy to be French and she thinks it's Italian.
