Twyla on Tuesday - Recent Finds

Hello!

It's been some time since I showed some

of my finds!

This weekend I traveled to the St. Louis area and

picked up these treasures.  One of my favorite

collectibles is motto prints.  Many of these are to

'Mother'.  This one is by the artist Marygold.  Her's

are always my favorites.  Incidently, this artist never

became a mother.  Her images are always so sweet.

She also does artwork under the name Tsanya.

I spotted this old scrapbook cover standing

on a shelf.  I love anything from this era.  It didn't

bother me a bit that it was only the cover.  It was

too pretty and I started thinking how I could display

it or even create a journal myself using this as the cover.

I was even more thrilled with it when I turned it over

and found items that the original owner had glued to the other

side!  Was it 'Mollie's' or 'Leona's', two names mentioned

on the cards.  Maybe those were 'her' best friends.

Did they stay in touch all their lives?  Were they

always there for each other?  Oh, I ponder the lives

of the people mentioned on the old ephemera I find.

Do you?

The date on one of the cards read 'Sept. 17th 1883'

Items like these are just priceless to me.

The small price tag for gold.

Another old treasure was this photo album.  These

are often in rough shape, but the small size of this one

made it so charming.  There is only one picture left

inside.  I am thinking of filling it with postcards.

Here's today's valentine!

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my finds.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Love, Twyla
