For The Adventure Seekers!
The Stories On Bland Street 73!
The Face Of Joy!
Now I can tell you guys! This isn't the place young people want to walk around in... so mayhaps there is something wrong with us! Who knows! Maybe we are old of soul!
Here's the catch! Me and the Betty would much rather sit around a table with old experienced people than sitting at a table with a bunch of young tards! I suppose opinions and world views differ! Ahh but let's not dive into that topic now!
Well, one thing I know for a fact is that I love me some antiques and I sure as hell love me some proper good wooden furniture! Not this pine crap you get today!
That's why the Betty is smiling like a rainbow!
See like this old, telescope or something! Heck it's probably not even a telescope at all but here I am claiming what it is!
What the point is that I am trying to make is that you don't see this walking across the street right!
Some Cool Alcohol!
Yeah sure alcohol in itself isn't at all cool! Stay away kids! What is cool about these though is what they actually are!
The name says it all! It's Bell's whisky! But the cool thing about these are that they are actually in bells! So cliche to the name and the container works because it links with the name!
Now I can see these are old!!!! Because of the clay bottles used!
Now honestly I wont mind taking a nice sip with these while the afternoon sun bakes on my face!
A Bit On The Blurry Side!
Okay apologies for this one! They really turned out blurry and heck I don't even know why though. I can't remember taking those photos like that at all! Anyways doesn't matter now!_
But these are real pieces of art! I mean make one screw up on that platter and the metal is already warped and twisted! Those were things people took their time with!
Let's not let their efforts be forgotten ever!
What even did I try here?
Everything Was Proper!
Okay back then things were proper! People built stuff to last and boy do they last a long time! I don't think back then anyone wanted to make millions of dollars! Nah I think people just wanted to live and live good!
Anyways! These are paraffin containers! Well the boxes that those containers were transported in! They made hella sure those things didn't get damaged in anyway, shape or form!
That is not something we care about today right! If something is damaged great someone will come buy a new!
Pretty damn usefull if you ask me!
These are not sold yet! It's cool but honestly there is no good use for these really!
But I did think someone would have bought them up by now!
Weird Old People!
Laughs I mean this in the politest of ways! Seriously I do! If anything remotely like that was produced today people would be on it to bash it within moments!
I mean this is a little weird and I would not actually want this in my house but if my house had a nice little bar inside I mean then it would be actually pretty whack!
Certainly Room For Humor!
The people of old were actually just like us! Want to own stuff that is keen on the eye! I mean stuff that attracts and that looks cute and cool and what better way than to have mini figurines in the house!
I mean those really are just as good as mini figurines right?
They all have these comical faces!
The Section I Want!
This absolutely goes without saying! I would legitly kill for those dinky toy cars! I mean this! Okay it's likely better to buy them all up than to go to jail for a mere 3k or something but still!
I think I should make a thing of it! Every year I go down to the seaside I buy up one of these? I think that can work!
The Small Things!
Of-course! I did tell you guys that people fancy those things of small!
I sure as hell do! Okay honestly it's just nice to stare at and buying these things to decorate your house with! Well that is just absurd!
I do have a huge fancy for those tiny coke bottles! That much I can say!
A tiny record! Like a very tiny record!
100% Would Get!
This without a doubt I would get! Okay let me rephrase that!
I would legitly buy this today if they told me this thing still works! Seriously this is one gem of a find and I would display it right next to my television set and boy oh boy I would play this everyday!
I would legitly buy this! Let me quickly talk to The Betty!
I don't at all even have words for this! This is absolutely whack!
The Money Problem!
Okay so if I had the space to store all this and the money to buy all these things! Inclyding the storage I would need!
Well then I can say I would fill up everything with old classic stuff like this! Even if I wont even use any of it!
A Nice piano well that is classic!
The Upstairs View!
Meh Not sure why I took this actually! I think it was more a thing of it looked cool at that moment!
Now this is the end of this post! FOR NOW!
Yeahp the antique stores are going to be a two part thing! Mainly because there is so much to share that filling them all in one post would be a disaster of sorts!
Way too much information for just a simple vacation post! So if this tickled your fancy, be sure to watch out for the second post next week!
