I have a small collection of cabinet cards from the late 1800's-early 1900's. I love to look at them and wonder who these people were and how they lived their lives. In the case of the one pictured here, I know her name is Margaret and she is 1 1/2, if only more information was written on the backs of these cards.
I've decided to make a fabric book with these cards in it, so here is page one.
While I was working, look what Sophie made, it reads "working art Sue Brown" ahhh she is gorgeous.
That is a great way to show off these cards. I have quite a few from the family, I keep then in a wooden poker drawn box that belonged to my grandmother. I like your idea.
ReplyDeletegreat idea Sue.
ReplyDeleteand look, Sophie is writing things on her own now! Cute picture of her, she looks quite pleased with herself.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you made a good start on your fabric book! I love old photos too.
ReplyDeleteAnd look at Sophie!! I think you need to include her writing in the book. ;)Isn't it nice to have a daughter to work beside you!
