ATCs For All - Decades 1920s

I thought that a pack of ephemera from this era had been included in my order from the Memorabilia Company but I can't find it so .......
My Mother was a milliner, as I have probably mentioned many times, and this meant that she was quite a fashionable young lady of the time.  She made most of her clothes and hats, her best friend May alongside her, and I have some wonderful photos of these two ladies.  
I also have lots of souvenirs from different places, among them a booklet from  The Great Exhibition of 1924. Then there was the Autograph Album ......  Enough memorabilia to make some ATCs methinks!!

No original photos etc. were used only photocopies.
I used a page from the souvenir booklet as a background then attached a length of the old ribbon I bought from the market in Paris diagonally across the card.  I took a photo of my mother on the ferry to the Isle of Wight, cut it down and rounded the corners, then attached it to the lower right of the card.  This left room for me to attach a gold embossed word - Imagine.


I used the cover of the souvenir booklet as the background to this card.  The ribbon made a neat border so that, when I attached some photos taken at the Expo, the souvenir title could still be seen.  The sentiment - put on your wings - is what Mam did in 1932 when she married my Father and sailed to the other side of the world - Malaya.


I think that this drawing is beautiful. 
I did nothing to this card except add the picture.  
My Uncle Vincent, no first name, was an artist of some renown and had his own sign-writing business.  I can imagine him coming round to my grandparents house, along with a few other relations, and all these young people spending time drawing, playing the piano, singing and dancing, going on picnics ....... all the things that folks did back then ...... this is from that time ......

I have enjoyed making these cards ...... a good way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.
