My love and admiration of antique and vintage memorabilia is exponentially increased by the wonders of our forefathers' talents and accomplishments.  Occasionally, I just have to stop and ask myself,
"How?"

How did they create such beauty with the
most basic of instruments and equipment?

  1. I find that the architecture of Europe is so much more appealing to the eye. I guess the U. S. just hasn't caught up yet with the importance of design.
