As I mentioned in the last blog post, I had found some old scrapbooks belonging to an unknown woman named Jean at the local thrift store. They are full of scrappy treasures…here are a few samples from just one of them:
This made me cry a little.
The Music Man
Ted Williams
Royalty gets around
Abraham Lincoln
“Delightful Hysteria” July 31, 1960
There are quite a few newspaper clips on JFK, including his death in a later scrapbook.
Caroline Kennedy trying to get away….naughty, naughty! 😉
The only thing I was surprised about was the lack of recipes. Out of all eight scrapbooks there were a total of 0 recipes and nothing about food.
I bet she was a very slender woman.
How interesting!! Kind of like an “old fashioned blog” of sorts 🙂
Lol. What a treasure! You should start to do yours with recipes if you havent already.
You are slender. 😉

A “blog” of its day. I love it – we often Find stuff like this at Roberts barn and I could sit for hours and look and read. Thanks for sharing your treasure! ❤️
That’s neat. Very interesting to see what someone collected and now it’s a treasure b/c of the history given.
You got a good eye for spotting neat stuff!😃
ha ha yes she was probably very slim:) This was delightful!
I’m glad her books found a good home!
