| My great-grandmother's scrapbook |
I am the keeper of May Jones' scrapbook, in which she pasted colourful cut-outs and poems and songs clipped from newspapers.

| The cardboard cover and back tie together with green string. |

| Page one |
 |
| Gave by M.J. to M.J. on 23rd Nov 1898 |
 |
| Pages 2 and 3 |
 |
| This is among many clippings she didn't get around to pasting in. |
May Jones had a stroke when she was in her fifties, and didn't recover. She died before Mom, her first granddaughter, was born.
what a treasure!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved paper all my life too. I only got into scrapbooking a few years ago but was too lazy to do it the right way..I did it digitally. I can see the right way now. You can touch it...feel it.
