Recycling gone bad!

Lizzie, I feel your pain; I just gave a couple of Victorian tailoring books to my onsite tailor which have the first half 'scrapbooked'. She will lovingly restore them...I've had them around for 20 years untouched.
 
Where do you find the time?!?!

I have a million things to do and here I sit enjoying your musings and fabulous photos~ let's call it a mental health break, shall we?:clapping:
 
As the former president of the Cabot Historical Society - we had quite a few of these heart-break scrapbooks come through. Typically they were on old diaries or store accounting books - real history covered up with greeting cards, glued to the paper so all unuseable.
 
Well, misery does like company! At least I'm not alone in my sadness.

Thanks SO much for the compliments on the blog. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself, but I love the subject matter so much that it really doesn't matter.

Still, if anyone would like to bookmark me and post from time to time...

ouch. ouch ouch ouch. that hurts to see...

and i've been in the same boat, amanda. i'm a curator at a military museum- i remember one time getting a donated box of pretty much useless stuff, but it was all wrapped and packed in new york city newspapers from the 1940's and 50's with the most devine Cold War ads and articles... "Commies And How To Spot Them!" (no joke, that was an article lol) and pictures of retro-future cars. since it was all wrinkled and dry i couldn't even unfold it all the way to get a good look without it crumbling. ugh!

oh, and lizzie- now i want really old keds :P
