Actually a section of my website. Admittedly this is possibly pointless, since, despite my best intentions, I haven’t updated my website in (oh god) almost a month, but whatever. It’s going to be about amusing, weird, cool things I see in antique stores, old ads, anything ‘antique-ish’. I’d like it to have the word ‘emporium’ in it, because it’s a cool word. My original thought was ‘Wonders of the Ancient World Emporium’, but that’s not quite right. Your turn. ---

Antediluvian Funtastic Lightspeed Clickable Emporium? I am partial to Emporium too. Antediluvian is my favourite word-geek word for old, but I doubt your old stuff is THAT old. And linky link please? ---

I got an ad for a set of bookcases that my family owns. I didn’t even buy it for that ad, but the one on the other side. That’s going to be one of the things I put up (along with an ad from the 50s of ‘make more money! Take these home courses!’ Some things don’t change) As I said, I haven’t updated in nearly a month, and most of it is about comics right now, but the link is [www.curiouslylydean.net](http://www.curiouslylydean.net) ---

The Japanese word Sabi has come to mean “The beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of an object and its impermanence are evidenced in its patina and wear, or in any visible repairs.” [cite](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi) There’s a whole Japanese aesthetic that admires older items. Maybe you could incorporate that into your site’s name somehow? ---

I thought ‘My Website About Old Stuff’ would make a good name, but it doesn’t include the word emporium. ---

Hmmm… Cobweb Emporium maybe… I hate feeling like I’m being ‘one of _those_ people’ who asks for help and then shoots everything down. I want it somewhat sarcastic / ironic. Like one of the things I have a picture of is a truly horrible Santa doll from the 50s, I think. But then some of the other stuff is cool shoes and clothes, so… I guess what I’m looking for is a prettier way of saying ‘interesting old stuff’. Anybody speak Latin? Or psuedo-latin? ---
