We made it! To the last episode of the history of cartography and maps. It has been quite a journey. We hope you've enjoyed it. We might nest an idea into something for the next series, but we shall see. We hope you have fun, stay hip and humble!

Still finding our way I guess. Please enjoy the third episode on the history of cartography! Stay Hip and Humble.

Well, we couldn't find our way out of this one. We are continuing our series on the history of cartography. We hope you are enjoying finding your way as much as we are. Stick around we got at least one more in this series. Stay hip and humble!

How do you get from one place to another? Do you ask your phone for directions? How about a person? Ever heard of a map? Cartography has both a noble and somewhat irreverent history that will take you for a ride! We are starting a series on the history of maps, and it is a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy it! Stay hip and humble.

We went off the rails a bit with this one! We had fun kind of talking about the history of books but more talking about what the lack of reading books seems to have achieved. You're in for a fun surprise in this one! Stay hip and humble!

Rolling another one out! In this episode, we talk about the history of rolling pins. Rolling pins are amazing collectibles. From the Etruscans to your mom's kitchen rolling pins are a kitchen staple. We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope you do too! Stay hip and humble!

Keeping your pants up can say a lot about how you are. In this episode, we look into the history of buckles. From Rome to the Cowboy Hall of Fame, belt buckles have a varied and colorful history in both culture and fashion. We stayed mostly on topic this time, and we hope that you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it. Stay hip and humble.

The written word, is what we will have, have had, and will always say the same thing. Before the printing press, books told a story with more than just the words written on each of the pages. In this episode we talk about the history of books, and what they have meant. Stay hip and humble.

We got a little carried away talking about pricks on the road in the last episode. In this one we talk about a different kind of prick. One you might put into a pin cushion. Pins were a symbol of status before the industrial revolution, and in this episode we talk about it's history, myths, and more. We hope you enjoy! Stay hip and humble.

We sometimes get off topic... This episode is what happens when we just keep jumping from one rabbit hole to another. We ended talking most about I95 and the complaints of a day in the life. We know it's been a while since we had an episode. Welcome to 2023, and here's to us putting out more shows this year. Stay hip and humble!!

I pick things up and put them down. Humans moving things from one place to another is as old as our species. With a little bit of math, metal, and some rope, people figured out long ago how to do this with a lot less effort. Pulleys are a unique collectible with a strong (no pun intended) history. In this episode, we talk about the credited inventor and the origins with more than a bit of comparison to modern culture thrown in for good measure. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did! Stay Hip and Humble!

Royalty, leadership, privilege, high birth, the colloquial 'king' or 'queen.' Why has this symbology lasted? Monarchies still exist in the world, but they are no longer the dominant political system. In this episode, we talk about the history of crowns, and their significance. As a symbol crowns are uniquely universal. There is a lot to unpack here, but that I leave to you, your majesty. Stay Hip and Humble!

Times changed after the industrial revolution. More people worked in mines, factories, and other places where dust and debris were the norm. In this episode, we talked about the practicality that birthed personality when it comes to the lunchbox. We had a lot of fun with this episode, and we really hope you all enjoy it as well. Sorry for the hiatus! We will be attempting to go back to an episode each week. Stay hip and humble!

So many things lit the way to the present day we live in. None so bright as the lantern, however. For centuries humans relied on the light of lanterns to guide their way through the dark. The optimization of this technology set us on the path towards computers, phones, and really everything that emits light. We hope you enjoy this brief history of lanterns, and as always stay hip and humble. Check out all of our social media and online store. You can get there from our main page: www.hnhantiques.com

We had so much fun talking about something people use to blow their noses that we decided to keep it going! This week we looked into the history of cowboy's neckerchiefs. They were and still are incredibly versatile tools. They are an icon of American culture born of necessity. Make sure to give it a listen. It's a lot of fun! We also got around to talking about the history of paisley, and you'll never guess how it got across the pond and onto the necks of cowboys. www.hnhantiques.com

A token, a handkerchief... something so simple can mean so much. It can also just be a way to wipe your nose. We had fun making this episode. We took a look at the social history of the handkerchief. To this very day, personal cloth is a staple to high fashion outfits. Their place in our culture was a love letter, before Kleenex got ahold of a pen. We hope you enjoy this one, and as always stay hip and humble. www.hnhantiques.com

What a joy and a half! Buttons deserved another episode. These things can be binding you know.. anyways we hope you enjoy learning a little more about the history of buttons. The cultural conversations sparked from this discussion were really fun! Make sure to check out our website when you get the chance! www.hnhantiqus.com

What a whirlwind! Sorry for the long hiatus. We have been busy! Switching hardware, summer projects, the whole nine! We though we'd start back up again with something that holds us together, buttons! Buttons are cute, but more than that they tell a story. Buttons tell not just the story of the person wearing them, but they tell the story of human history. We certainly hope you enjoy it, and as always stay hip and humble!

Pictures are a vision to the past. A revolution really, that sets us apart. We can look authentically at people and environments we've never been near. This week, we are going further down the rabbit hole with pictures. We hope you enjoy, and as always, stay hip and humble. #fun #pictures #history #photography #podcast #podcasting #antique #antiquing #antiqueoftheday #vintage #kodakmoment #kodak #motherandson #hipandhumble #changingseasons

We are once again delighted to share with you the conversation inspired by photos. Photography is one of our species eldest conquests. Our ancestors sought since at least the fifth century to remember what was, as accurately as possible. Photos allow us that definitive window back into that time. We hope you are enjoying these talks, let us know, and as always stay hip and humble! https://linktr.ee/hipandhumble WGSBN Going Solo Network: Facebook.com/goingsolo #antique #family #photography #history #podcast #hipandhumble #fun #lookatthisphotograph
