Finally loaded! The order form on the rhs of the book is from the early 1950s. My Grandad was ordering bulbs for his garden. The order was made out in UK old money and the parcel was to be delivered to the local railway station - all so old-fashioned in these days of internet ordering and home delivery!

I'm so sorry you had trouble uploading, Hilary but this was worth waiting for!   I love the format you used here and how you set up your scene, it's really lovely.   What a wonderful photo and piece of history to have and most especially in your Grandad's writing.   So interesting to think what he had to go through to order for his garden, I forget that now with how easy it is.   I really like your use of the journaling book and the inkpot and flower embellishments you used, it all came together so well!   Thanks for joining the challenge and sharing a piece of your heritage. :)

Wow!  This is amazing!  Love how it looks as if everything were casually placed on this layout yet each piece helps tell the story.  Love this!
