OLD ADVERTISEMENTS

Seen in Asuncion, Paraguay. I was attracted by the contrast between New and Old, e.g. the Lamps above the Poster, the Cabling on the wall etc.

Hello my Flickr friends!
Another Monday and another red day at Color My World Daily Group. And the theme at Macro Mondays is: on a coin. I must admit that this was by far the most rules exhaustive theme.
And since I’m collecting coins (yes, if you don’t know yet; I’m a hoarder … but I have other charming qualities which makes me an unique and lovable hoarder, at least it is what I like to think about myself…), I decided to go with an old 10 French francs coin. The main raison is that I’m very nostalgic about French francs era but also because they have a very beautiful words written on the edge, which makes them very interesting.
I choose the word “égalité”, which means equality. In my opinion it is a little bit ironic since money is about everything except equality, don’t you think ?…It is like this funeral home advertisement we had here in Montreal, few years ago, begging us to be careful and stay well during holidays … Do you feel the irony here?? But in the case of 10 French Francs it is a French national motto. The whole inscription is: Liberté, Fraternité, Égalité.
My main subject standing on my 10 Francs coin is my tiny red pencil (once again this is a part of another growing collection of tiny pencils... #hoarderlife). It is a few millimeters smaller than the coin diameter (2,5cm).
And since we all know by now that money, doesn't grow on trees (raise your hand if your parents were saying that exact phrase, it exists even in Polish !!!), I have to run to my office!! Another video meeting and then I will start my day of money making at home!
P.S I think that the phrase "money doesn't grow on trees" should be written on the edge of coins worldwide, as a motto for all kids to learn !!! Who is with me on that one ?
Have an amazing Monday my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) is a medium-sized woodpecker with pied black and white plumage and a red patch on the lower belly. Males and young birds also have red markings on the neck or head. This species is found across the Palearctic including parts of North Africa. Across most of its range it is resident, but in the north some will migrate if the conifer cone crop fails. Some individuals have a tendency to wander, leading to the recent recolonisation of Ireland and to vagrancy to North America. Great spotted woodpeckers chisel into trees to find food or excavate nest holes, and also drum for contact and territorial advertisement; they have anatomical adaptations to manage the physical stresses from the hammering action. This species is similar to the Syrian woodpecker.

I just got my first iPad, and I edited this using the LR app on it. I'm not sure I like it much as I don't have complete control that I've gotten used to on my PC. I guess I need to go look it up on YouTube to see what else I can do.

This advertisement is from the back cover of Home Arts magazine from January of 1936. Kind of shocking from today's perspective.

Hi guys!
Before I Head out on my trip tomorrow, I wanted to post the full pieces for my skin advertisements here and get all sappy and write a little bit about it.
I have been working on this face skin as well as my body skins for what seems like eternity, and the release is almost here. I can't believe it. I have dreamed of creating my own body skins for SL since before I even started my store and I've even made some in the past that were never released or finished. Creating skins is my absolute favorite thing to do and I am so grateful that there is even a small hand-full of people out there that appreciate what I do and wear my creations.
Inclusivity is so important to me as well as creativity, so I created 50 tones (25 fantasy and 25 natural) and I am also offering a creator kit for anyone who also wants to create matching faces or addons for my bodies.
For now, the body skin is only available for Ebody Reborn, and both the body skins and face skins will be available at the Reborn event this month. I am working on creating skins for other bodies as well and will release them when they're ready.
Angel, the face skin pictured, has to be my new favorite. It matches my bodies of course, but I also included face only layers so you can wear it with other bodies if you wish, and also a neck match layer just in case either option works better. In the fantasy ad I am also wearing the included monolid addon and freckles, there's several more addons included but I wanted to at least display a few.
Even if you aren't interested in my skin, but you made it this far, thank you for reading and taking an interest in my art, I appreciate you.
Holland House, 92 Yundah Street, Shorncliffe in northern bayside Brisbane. Built in 1889, it's walls could tell 1000 stories.
From the Brisbane City Council Heritage Register -
Holland House reflects the appeal of Shorncliffe as a seaside resort for Brisbane residents in the nineteenth century. Built circa 1889 as a hotel, it was intended to cater to vacationers brought to Sandgate and Shorncliffe by the new railway line. It was refused licensing, however, and its proprietor was declared insolvent. From the early twentieth century it operated as a boarding house, known initially as ‘Dorset House’. The large timber residence was a popular holiday and honeymoon destination in the twentieth century before it was converted to flats. This block of land was granted to William John Loudon in September 1856. Loudon, or Louden, had operated the Lamb Inn, one of the oldest hotels in Fortitude Valley, and a hotel on the road to Sandgate. He opened a hotel in Sandgate but did not develop this site. Although large, the site did not have views to the sea, and was not particularly close to transport.
This situation changed by 1882, however. Yundah Street became a popular area for boarding houses, while the rest of Shorncliffe began to develop rapidly, leaving few areas vacant. ‘This land is in reality the only large block left in Sandgate for subdividing purposes,’ wrote sales advertisements, which claim, though exaggerated, was borne out somewhat by the increasing number of houses, shops, hotels and holiday homes built in and around the area. Loudon’s site, since purchased and sold by Arthur Wettendal, was transferred vacant to Jacob Dickinson in 1882.
Dickinson was a Fortitude Valley second-hand dealer, who appears to have purchased this site as a speculative investment property. He also had another property in Sandgate, ‘Bella Vista’, in which he resided in 1889, and evidently also hosted boarders there.
In January 1889 Dickinson applied for a licence for his Yundah Street property. He had prepared plans, which he presented to the Sandgate Board, and estimated the cost of the new property at £5,000. In April 1889, a new application was made for the property in the name of RF Daniel.
(Dickinson attempted to turn his property into a hotel in the late 1880s. He applied for a hotel licence but his application was refused on the grounds of a hotel being ‘unneeded’. Although Dickenson had claimed that he had turned away paying guests for lack of room, Sandgate already featured accommodation. The 1885 post office directory listed five hotels and eight boarding-houses, including two temperance houses for teetotallers. Other proprietors, like Patrick Murphy, had also had applications refused but constructed large residences
In spite of this response Dickinson had completed construction of the property by 1890, when he was declared insolvent.)
Holland House, built in 1876, was a popular guest house for honeymooners. The house and a tennis court stood on grounds of one and a half acres within two minutes’ walk of the beach and three minutes from the railway station. Mrs English, the proprietress, offered visitors ‘every attention and all home comforts’ as well as ‘milk and poultry from our own yards’. It was not only the promise of fresh seaside air and home cooking that attracted American servicemen to 92 Yundah Street during the second world war. At that stage Holland House operated as a brothel.
Mrs English had valuation for Holland House dropped from £240 to £180 in 1933 (depreciation in values.)
The building seems to still operate as a boarding house.
