This little cutie was used for advertisement. Notice the bonnet. Love the lace and ribbon.

Old Portrait


You can see the traces of aging in this old portrait. I thought this was worth sharing. The photo is probably early 1900's.

Class of 1914

This is a handsome invitation from "Graduation Past". Just think, this came off the press 96 years ago. Inside the invitation is a class roll of 15 students. The class Motto: "From Possibility to Reality" Class Flower: "American Beauty" Class Colors: "Red and Blue"

Stamp From the Past

This old stamp was in some antique things purchased at an auction. Can you imagine stamps for 1 cent? You could send out 100 invitations for $1.00. "Those were the days!"

Butterfly Sweetheart

Plants, flowers, and butterflies decorate this old Valentine jewel. This Valentine has a unique style, and you have to love the imagination behind it.
