At Elmwood, there is a darling Victorian scrapbook that was assembled by a little girl and I think it was my great grandmother, Helen Robinson.
It has a burgundy leather cover and sweetly scalloped fabric pages. The scrap is a bit worse for wear but I love it just as it is.
My great great grandmother Ella had four children; Harold, William, Helen and Elizabeth. Helen, the oldest, was my grandfather's mother.
That's great grandma Helen, on the right. I come from a long line of hair bow wearers and scrapbook makers.
I adore how tattered her cutouts have become. Missing head and all, the kitty reminds me of Alice's Cheshire Cat.
Is that a blue velvet tam? I want it.
Aren't these wonderful? It's things like this book that argue a pretty convincing case for being a pack rat. 100 years ago all little girls made these and sob, I'm sure most of them got thrown away!
(Thank god, I uploaded these photos before this week's computer meltdown.)
