The evolution of Keith Foster
« on: January 03, 2012, 07:31:24 PM »
...and not as an architect.

I'm somewhat baffled: Keith Foster opened a "J. Peterman-esque" website to sell "hand-selected antiques, furnishings, artifacts and other authentic finds."  

http://keithfosteroutpost.com/

I have always appreciated things that endure and are real. This is true in my relationships and of the things with which I have filled my home and life. Having quietly bought and sold antiques and other items to both friends and clients over the years, Keith Foster Outpost is a place where I can offer hand-selected antiques, furnishings, artifacts and other authentic finds that can add inspiration to the life that we each live.

Since completing school, I have traveled. I travel for my work, I travel to be with my family and I travel with my wife to get away. I am always on the move and always exposed to interesting people and lives that are so very different from my own. When on the road, if I see something interesting or striking, I will try to buy it and bring it back home.

Over the last several years, I have been traveling more than ever. I invite you to see what I have returned with.

I have had very little interaction with Mr. Foster, but I have had some.  What I know for a fact is that he is off the charts generous and someone I would go out of my way for to help.  I've check out his site...I think it is pretty cool.

He has a lot of cool looking items on his website but you have to email him to find out the price of each one.

Well, I'd like to add to my collection of Burlwood sporting balls.  But only at bargain prices.

Some pretty neat stuff on his website. I don't know why it's odd for someone to have a passion other than golf course architecture ;) :)
