I assume this was a girl's scrapbook.

Did you notice what is used as a rug?

The harpist and the singer.

In between seasons.

In the book turned into a massive scrapbook (often found at the brocantes) there are well over a hundred pages.

The bold date,

the clothes,

romance.

The last images reads: The Best Remedies, oh name a few of yours! 

The scrapper of this book cut pages out of old books, magazines, journals, used postcards… there are no notes, indication, or clues to who, what, where… I will post more but first I am going to look through it…

Do you "scrapbook"?

  1. I do not scrapbook-BUT I DO ROMANCE–a girl after my own heart!

  2. Yes, I scrapbook. .or used to do it more than I do now. But my next project for 2016 is to scrapbook my recent trip to Provence, Paris, including a visit to your lovely home with the Red Shed ladies. What a treasure I will never forget. I love reading your posts every day. Living in Texas, we have our style, but it aint French! I have found a few things and French is definitely my home décor but to go brocanting on a regular basis.. . I really yearn for Provence!

    Blogging has taken on much of the old style scrapbook. Cutting and pasting, setting up pages and sharing or keeping images for yourself.

  4. Surprise! I was surprised to see the first picture. A copy of that very picture hung in my mother-in-law’s house. We all loved it. The first image was infant and the last was death. It was a great picture of the stages of womanhood. I think that might have even been the name of it.

    Constantly. Absolutely constantly. 10’s of thousands of images from every possible source, printed, cut-out, sorted by subject/importance to me. The last step of pasting down goes undone for years and then is too much to begin. So instead of books I have boxes and bags.
    Which is part of why I can’t move to the South of France. 🙂

  6. yes at home and I am the scrapbook committee of my volunteer fire department. I dutifully take photos of our training and camaraderie. I love it!

  7. no, I don’t scrapbook (now I gotta donate all that new stuff I bought for years but never did). I do have vintage ephemera (magazines, gift wrap, greeting cards, music sheets, etc. that I collect in pretty boxes as I super LOVE looking & touching these things (the quality was so much better in the past)..I will only make photocopies of these to craft with in order to preserve the originals.

  8. I scrapbook and I’m still working on 900 pictures from a Paris trip in 2012. My friend was overzealous in taking pictures of statues -LOL. No, I’m not placing all 900 in scrapbooks because some are duplicates or poor quality.

  9. I don’t scrapbook, but this one is fun to see.
