This vintage baby book is on loan to us from my sister, Sheila. It has the most beautiful and incredible illustrations. There is a handwritten inscription on the inside cover that says,
"Dec. 25th, 1889, Our Little Ollie, Grandma Rich"
Beautiful endpapers in an old prayer book
Some old daggeurotypes in my dining room cabinet. I love the shattered one. She is the first one I ever bought. Note the hand-tinting on her face.
