This is my grandmother Alice whom I named by biz after:) AliceinParis! Here she is about 16 years old. I recently found a small Autograph Album of hers buried in a box of old photos. This album is almost 100 years old!
There is a tremendous innocence to some of the entries by her pals.
and incredible talent! This book must have been kept overnight in order to do this water colour sketch of the Brig o Balgownie in Aberdeen, Scotland.
And this corner of a page folded over:)
And check this one out. Wow.
There were bits of red pencil scribbles throughout. My father’s handiwork as a kid. Ha ha.
I had an autograph book when I was 12. I can still remember what some kids wrote in it. Are they a thing of the past? What a great memento to have.
What a great find Shelagh!

This is beautiful in so many ways. Thank you for sharing. This reminded me of my own book with entries from friends that I had as a young person. Sadly, it is long gone. This is a treasure.
