Tom's mother showed me these scrap books in North Wales last weekend and all I can say is I was blown away. Dating back to the Victorian Period, three leather bound books were filled with the most beautiful prints, drawings and poems I think I have ever seen. They inspired me to do my own. One finds so many wonderful pictures and drawings etc. but it seems unless there is a reason to keep them we don't. Well I vow to start doing so...
Poems and Christmas Cards
Wonderful Decoupage
Poems that were written out...
Water Colour Drawings
My Favourite Pages - A mix of pictures, poems etc.
Homage to Queen Elizabeth I
So utterly beautiful, that has given me a lump in my throat, I wonder who that woman was who collated everything so beautifully.
