I love to find antique photo and autograph albums at the flea market...
...especially when the covers are made of worn faded velvet
... and the insides are filled with sweet sentiments in lovely old script.

These two were found at the flea market in New Milford, CT last summer.

Albums from a different era...
...messages written so as not to be forgotten.

Just a few words of sweet kindness found at the flea market...

These are so neat! I loved when we found my grandmother's from when she was in 8th grade. It is such a neat peak back.
stunning finds ... the handwriting is so pretty
This little glimpse into life in another time really does touch one doesn't it? It makes the people so much more "real".
The albums are in such wonderful condition - someone had them stored up just for you. They were looking forward; we are looking back.
The albums are awesome! I love to read the little notes people leave behind and then craft grandeur stories about how the note came to be.
Oh so lovely! And the words are beautiful...thank you for sharing:)
such lovely and graceful penmanship ~
like a lost art ...

to give them life anew ...

So sweet! And somehow my old yearbooks full of "stay cool" just don't have the same impact.

What a treasure!
a treasure...I love finding personal things like that, it makes you make up a story in your head about who the people were and the lives they led...
