buttons1

V loves to pour them from one container to another, look at them individually, sort them, etc. These really fascinate her. There must be 60 or 70 of them and she loves to look for the oval-shaped button, because there is only one …

pushcart

V pushes her cart around the house several times a day. She loves this shopping cart. I love to see what she puts in it. As she runs around, she takes things out (or throws them out) and puts new stuff in. Here’s what went in today. A couple of dolls, her bear, her favorite …

cocoa_powder

I have a lot of cocoa powder in the house, sent over from relatives in Slovakia. Before it reaches the expiration date, I’ve been trying to think of ways to use it up. Of course I can make Slovak pastry, that’s what they sent it to me for, but I wanted to do something much …

Still with the mittens

mittens2

V still likes to play with her mittens. She has this book with a winter scene where the people are wearing mittens. Of course, she has to wear hers too. Winter is almost over and I was getting ready to pack these away. Now I guess I’ll just have to permanently find a place for …

  • Here's what I came up with. I've got two larger colorful images on both pages and several background papers that I've cut or torn down to the needed size. All original papers from the 1890s to the 1920s. The only non-original thing is the washi tape to reinforce the gutter of the book pages. .

  • What's on my desk today. It might stay like this for 48 hours at least. Often, with the very old original pieces, it takes a while before it all comes together. I have to place and arrange and swap and shift until it's just right. The time it takes is part of the whole process.
