WOYWW 593 - What's On Your Workstation Wednesday?

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes

I've been MIA dealing with Life's roller coaster.

But I have missed posting to my blog.  Maybe I can be more consistent in future.

Meanwhile, as I'm feeling better at the moment, I decided to finally sort through the ephemera I inherited from my paternal grandmother and ORIGINAL family historian and scrapbooker, Mary. (I inherited her dozens of scrapbooks - none of which were archival safe...)

Closeup of inherited ephemera circa 1957, 1958, 1968, etc.

I found lots of Granny's business cards, Mother's Day cards, Mother's Day telegrams, receipts, Irish Sweepstakes books and ticket stubs. Even found a hand written recipe for hair color - she was a licensed beautician and had her own beauty salon. Most dates are 1957, 1958, 1968. 

There were LOTS of unused raffle tickets for her 'teas'. Also, several letters (in their envelopes with old postage stamps) from her ladies' clubs - she was a member of several clubs. Also one program from a 1967 Cotillion. I was in one of her club's  cotillions as a sub-debutante, but this program was not from my cotillion.

There were also a few folded newspaper clippings and Wrigley Spearmint chewing gum wrappers (?)

Her hoard  was in a plastic bag. There is also an old cigar box full of random playing cards. I definitely am her granddaughter. I inherited the pack-rat/hoarding gene from BOTH sides of my family! (Good thing I'm an artist/crafter).

Some of these old items  I've earmarked for one of my heritage  scrapbooks  about Granny  that I continue to update. The remaining ephemera I'll (dry fit) collage to scan/save. Then use those pieces in my own glue books, junk journals, and art journals. 

Woo-hoo! Great vintage ephemera that I don't have to pay for!
