    Great items from the antique stores, Carol! I always love the size of those first little golden books. The Farm ABC’s is simply too precious! Mrs. Hen was super cute, too. Nice fussy cutting in the Audubon guide. Those stencils are very interesting. Great photo album!! Lots of history there ❤❤❤

    Have you heard of Dead Fred? It’s a photograph site for genealogists looking for photographs of loved ones and ancestors. I bet they would love scans of some of those old photographs. For instance, I received a photograph of my grandfather from a lady who bought an old photograph album from a flea market in Virginia, such as you did. My mother and I didn’t even know that he had been pen pals with a woman there before he married my grandmother, so that piece of news gave me another fact to put on his timeline at Ancestry. I was thrilled. 😁

    Those flash cards would be Dave’s idea of game night. One where he would hands down win without question😮 The red fabric would be more like a 70’s ditsy fabric. I did a vid on feedsack fabric during my #bolobooks from my uppercase book on Feedsack.

    That first package is from a workbook/packet of a student at the school. They practiced filling out the forms and checks and things- they were not traded in the public. The dates are when the fellow was in the business school though! Wish I could have found him somewhere! I'm glad the mail info will come in handy and that you like it!

    Good to hear updates on your granddaughter. I hope she didn’t over do it. I love your comment about being a collector as much as a creator. I think that’s true of many of us! ❤ Beautiful trims. I see your bags and guess immediately that you’re organizing “Clutterbug style” is a Butterfly. Hee hee. If you haven’t heard of this it just means you are a visual, macro organizer and typical organizing systems sold in stores won’t work for you. You like to see your stuff or you forget about it and you like big, easy access storage (not teeny, tiny, micro categories). I find it fascinating and because my hubby and I are different it’s really helped us find solutions for organizing shared spaces. I’m an organizing geek, lol 😂 but that doesn’t mean I’m always organized! Haha

I think I'm going to review what I have for my nephew journals, set realistic expectations and just do it. I have to put the final touches on the strawberry journal and make the cover..yikes!
