My best score here was a set of four autograph books
dating from the '20's and '30's.
Two of these were still in good enough shape
that I was able to use them as journals.
Writing and collageing on the blank pages.
I love the juxtaposition of my work next to the
pictures and sayings of so long ago.
Many beautiful sketches and tender sentiments fill the pages,
A sketch of mine from 2009 next to an entry from 1919.
My stamp collage faces a page from 1920.
I love this elegant lady from the roaring '20's,
and this lock of hair left in "best regards" so long ago.
I love your autograph books and the journey down the Thames to find them. How wonderfully they adapt to sharing space with your words and images. What a find! xo

ReplyDeleteMarylinn and bobbie - Indeed - what a find! The best £40 I spent while I was there (and that's saying something!)

ReplyDeleteSOME day I hope to hit Paris like a meteorite! If I DO, I'll request notes from the two of you!
Lisa - Now wouldn't that DNA be interesting?
