"In the Window" for Ruby Tuesday!

In the Window
Artist: Frank C. Kirk

The is one of the loveliest of selections from the antique album of scraps collected in the 1930's by a young girl from Ohio. I wonder what she would think if she knew her painstaking cuttings were becoming part of the Worldwide Web?

  2. That reminds me of a scrapbook I kept during the 1940s and 50s...birthday cards with images like this one.

    Now I'm thinking I've got to scrounge around in that old wicker trunk for that scrapbook!

    Thanks for reminding me.

  11. Bonjour Coralie,
    So pretty. If she lived in today's world she would probably be blogging about her beautiful scrapbooks.
