Mandy possède une vaste collection de carnets créatifs vintage : les plus anciennes datent de 1850 et les plus modernes – de 1940.
Sa mission est de donner à ces livres une deuxième vie en partageant leurs histoires cachées et oubliées avec un public plus large sur Instagram.

A page from the #umbrellascrapbook 🍓The hand holding the raspberries shows up in Sarah’s scrapbook too.

This small Corlies, Macy, & Co. catalog was converted into a scrapbook on March 7th, 1875 in Fayetteville, NC. Notice how the check on the left is made out to “Ole Uncle Sam” for a million dollars. 💰😄 The calling cards didn’t come with this book, but I love the envelope designs and wanted to show them. #corliesscrapbook

My favorite flower page from Elizabeth’s 1919 – 1923 scrapbook. I’ve shown the page on the right once before, but it’s worth seeing all together. She saved confetti, sawdust, bottle caps, and much more. 💕

Another page from Genevieve’s 1920s scrapbook and an example of how well party napkins hold up over time! Other than the creases, the color is as good as new. ❤️#genevievesmemorybook

If you have any decorating concerns, Gladys P. Babbitt’s Domestic Science III project has you covered. Here you see a girl’s combined study and bedroom. Gladys writes, “…this room is decorated with mostly white furnishings in order that the room will not be a sad and dreary place…the desk is placed where good light is available…and electric lights are used. The shirtwaist box is placed in a handy place…the curtains are of white muslin with a narrow lace edge…”. 💕 Seven other rooms are designed and described in the same manner and she received an A+. Her teacher wrote, “Explanations very good indeed”. I’m not 100% sure on the date. 1920s? I’m looking forward to sharing more of this one. #gladysdesignbook
