Welcome, it was refreshingly fun to be back last week. Thank you for all your visits and lovely comments. Wednesday's come so quickly, but it's fun to take time to visit Ms Julia at the STAMPING GROUND and visit so many fun bloggers. Just visit and play along.
My desk:
Cleared up and waiting for "INSPIRATION" to create a few little journals..A tea dyed envelope and a couple of paint chips left over from the collaging in a little Paint Chip Glue Book. You can see it

Above and below is a 1920's photo album I purchased from a local business closing their doors.
The photos are really unique and I might try to find relatives, and maybe use some in some of my tags etc. I really loved finding the old paper dolls. Never expected them to be in this album.
Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful WOYWW kind of day.

what a great find! Hope your inspiration you are waiting for comes along soon! Helen #1
That is such a great find - how funny that we all buy TH paper dolls and you have your own - will make for interesting tags etc.

What a wonderful find, Sylvia. It would be lovely to find out who the people were. I’ve got old albums of my Mum’s with pictures of her childhood in the 20s and 30s - I love the little B&W contact prints - actually (showing my age!) I’ve got any amount of these of Yours Truly as a little ‘un in this format too! We always had those albums with the black pages and the little photo corners you had to stick down. Memories... Mum was always meticulous about writing on the back of photos to say who they were, because she found it so frustrating when people didn’t do this, and expected everyone to know. I’ve got quite a collection of family pics going way back. I’ve scanned loads of them to put in mixed media albums etc. - they make real treasures. Finding the paper dolls in that album too, that was a treat! Not seen those before.
Happy WOYWW,

Wow Sylvia that photo album is gold! How fascinating, and the paper dolls must be pretty rare. Love the big To Do pad, I hope its empty and you have nothing but playtime at hand...specially in those lovely colourful glasses!
You just never know what you will find when you purchase something old! You seem to have found a treasure! Happy WOYWW! Glenda #18
What a curious find, those photos and paper dolls! Have fun creating with them! The paint chip glue book is intriguing as well! I envy your desk space - I need to create some space too before I can create anything else! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa #16

Hello, I had a look at your paintchip collages. We must belong to the same FaceBook group. I didn't finish mine, too much else on the go! Have you done the October free collage set yet? Hoping to combine mine with a Halloween images. I know exactly what you mean by no one understands when they look, I am sorting out a bedroom, getting there bit by bit. x Happy WOYWW!

Hi Sylvia, what a great find. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 X
Oh Sylvia, you have us all oo-ahhhing over wonderful eclectic mix you picked up at a closing down business ... I really love the paper dolls, who’d have thought and my fav is mum pegging out the washing, how amazing! It’s a little sad that someone took the time for all those photos to go in there and now they’re just scrapped...
Happy belated WOYWW.
Thanks for sharing, and God bless, Shaz in Oz.x #20
