Text of the page (random words):
m back in the post with a message on it which i did the following day then the day after that what do you think i found waiting for my on my doormat sorry i set you up for that one no i didn t find 2 white envelopes filled with alarms with my own return to sender and here s why essays scrawled over them but i did find this it s a postcard from new orleans where the sender thought i d be traditional and send a card stating that they re having an amazing time and who promises to call on their return which is all nice to hear isn t it it s just that while i wish jollie a wonderful holiday in the big easy and while i m glad she s planning to call on her return it would possibly mean more to me if i knew who she was or indeed if i knew who frankie and edie are because they re the complete strangers whose names sit atop my address on this latest piece of mistaken address entity so what do i do with this one i can t return to sender as jollie s coming home on the 2nd ask me how i know and anyway she s obviously only on holiday there and so it won t get returned to her anyway so i m going to give it a fighting chance of reaching its intended recipients i m going to put it in an envelope copy out their names and the address but this time rather than use our postcode as jollie has i ll try the postcode of another street which has the same name as ours but which is about 20 minutes away and has a different code as it wouldn t be the first time we had mail intended for that address and then i ll sit back and wait and watch my doormat for its possible return because if it s not theirs they may well try the same approach using our postcode and send it back to us i ll keep you posted update find out what happened next here if you re postally inclined you might like to visit this post from last summer where we all chatted about the postcard exchange hosted by from high in the sky and where i mused about where you would find a postcard depicting a scene of your town or m y going postal pinterest board home to lots of postal themed posts including craft projects from the mail themed series i ve hosted over recent ye ars and this vintage postal history map of great britain poster or these retro sport or space instant postage stamp collections all available in my shop now i m handing this topic over to you does this happen to you do you keep getting someone else s mail any mistaken address entity tales to tell unburden yourself in the comments tell me all share the frustrations the funnies the intrigue julie posted by julie kirk at 07 34 8 comments labels postal postcards mail address email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 23 july 2015 vintage treasure 1920s index cards a history of trade waiting to be reinvented re imagined reclaimed this photo was a mistake i was playing with shutter speed settings and this was the blurred result so in theory it was a mistake and yet in its atmospheric mistiness in its resemblance to old double exposed images in its sense of time passing it s less of a mistake and more a reflection of the age and romance of the subject matter an original unused 1920s index card file if you re one of those people and in all likelihood if you re taking time to visit me here i think it s safe to bet that you are whose pulse quickens when in the vicinity of office supplies then imagine coming face to face with this when you re really not expecting to surprise office supplies are a treat in themselves but surprise vintage office supplies well that s approaching dangerous excitement levels bundles of original 1920s index cards are available in my shop click for more details i came face to face with these delights while browsing around the vast hemswell antiques centre in gainsborough lincolnshire earlier this month apparently it s europe s largest antique centre think thousands of ceramics paintings furniture bibelots etc and yet somehow my paper loving eye managed to find rare papery treasure in among it all perhaps paper tracking is my super power this is what i first saw a closed box with its worn edges it was sitting quietly humbly on a highly polished antique table in between shinier trinkets and more colourful collectables and to the un stationary obsessed eye it could have just remained a box and a brown scuffed box at that but i had a feeling so i glided nearer with my blood and my hopes both rising and slid my index finger beneath the smooth curve of its handle then gripped it with my thumb and pulled to reveal and i knew i knew i wasn t going to be able to leave without them even after those same fingers turned over the price label i knew that the next leg of their life s journey was with me and with you here and with the vintage paper lovers the paper s vintage not the ever youthful and glowing lovers who visit my shop because they recognise that i get it i knew that like me you would be stopped in your tracks by a box of old cards that most people wouldn t look at twice and you too would start thinking about filling in the blanks because it is all blanks literally and figuratively each card is blank they re untouched they re just waiting for a new story to be written on them be that through handwriting typing collage sketching art journaling and their history is a blank too apart from the description of tham as 1920s index cards i have no further details on them where did they come from why were they left unused where have they been since was i really the only person who wanted them or had someone else wandered past had their heart stolen but then pondered and paused and left without them unlike me maybe that person didn t feel herself surrounded by a likeminded community who would get why she d spent all that money on an 80 year old box of stationery my first attempt to fill in the blanks sees a 1920s shop clerk in his smart waistcoat with pocket watch leaning on the polished counter top of the shop filling out the details with his fountain pen and returning the index card to the divided storage box and the bell above the door rings alerting him to another customer heading his way well those are my first thoughts on the back story of these gloriously understated and yet rare papery treasures how about yours if you can think of a scenario involving these cards i d love to hear it which trades were these used to record which goods what kind of customers had their details on record here it s a world of creative possibilities ultimately that s why i love working with collecting and selling vintage paper supplies they may well be a fresh starting point for creating something new and yet they resonate with preexisting character they bring with them a history waiting to be reinvented re imagined reclaimed and where better to begin creating than with something inherently inspiring julie posted by julie kirk at 14 43 10 comments labels vintage paper treasure email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 15 july 2015 vintage treasure how the girl about town kept in touch before the mobile phone age did you catch the feature on the 1940s school syllabus i blogged earlier this week the one handwritten by a teacher detailing how the infants of class 4 were going to spend their school days between july 48 and september 49 well there s something about today s vintage papery treasure that suggests it belonged to somebody quite different to our teacher friend someone a little more urban someone with a social life fizzing with cocktails and clubs although our teacher friend could have been quite a different woman once that bell rang at the end of the day we ll never know so here s today s treasure an aide memoire a fancy way to say a tiny notebook for helping you remember things currently available to purchase here in my shop so you re a woman about town in the 1940s 50s i ve tried to accurately date this piece but online searches have returned dates ranging from the 1930s to 60s the telephone numbers inside tend to suggest it s pre 70s though and the style really does sit better with the 40s 50s you re all dressed up in your kitten heels your twin set slacks gloves and pearl earrings and now you re looking for somewhere to go and someone to go there with you may not have a mobile phone to help you plan your adventure but you ve got something just as useful and twice as glamorous in your patent leather handbag your palm sized phone number keeper your petit point embroidered aide memoire inside you ve got numbers for doreen eva caryl bernard and peggy percy but if they re not available then there s always phyl tonge she might be free tonight and how about a quick drink or even a round at the mid kent golf club you ve got the number handy after all and why would you do anything as mundane as catching the bus when you ve got the number for reliance taxis on hand at all times it s a great vintage notebook so evocative of a glamorous era and a unique treasure from womens history made extra special with the personal touch of original handwriting and as 12 of its 19 pages are blank both sides seven are written on one side it also makes an entirely one of a kind set of pages for an artist collage artist writer or art journaler to work on too if you re looking for a gift for a vintage accessories then look no further or this would make a splendidly appropriate gift even for someone from around the surrey kent london area as place include camberley surrey gravesend mid kent and foots cray so it turns out that pre social media and pre mobile phones this is how a lady who fancied a sherry in good company arranged to meet up with peggy and phyl to do just that with no fear of her battery running out and being stranded without any numbers to contact thanks for visiting me and the treasure today if today s item isn t the one for you do hop over to the shop as there are lots of new vintage goodies available now including books index cards menu cards maps and more julie posted by julie kirk at 12 10 4 comments labels vintage notebook aide memoire email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 13 july 2015 vintage treasures 1948 9 infant school syllabus and record book hi again i thought i d start a new week by dipping into something old i discovered recently at the time of writing you can become the next caretaker of this treasure of social history by dropping by for more details from my shop can you make out just how old this is in the bottom right where it says year ending 194 can you spot just after it the word july and the number 9 in faded pencil coming from the school year ending july 1949 makes this is a 66 year old traveller through time and as it s one made of paper and card it s doing exceptionally well for all that travel now how about i introduce you properly after all you know its age now it only seems polite to get to know more about it it s september 1948 the start of the school year in the rural village of woodhouse eaves leicestershire england and the school teacher of class four has just settled down to plan the year ahead for her infant class and this is the book she used when she begins recording her lessons it s the week ending september 16th 1948 the 3rd anniversary of the end of world war ii has only just passed 8th may and bread rationing has only just ended over the summer and before the end of the school term clothes rationing will come to an end but our teacher and her pupils will have to wait another 5 years before all other food rationing finally ends but through all this a new generation needs to be educated and between the covers of this wonderful original vintage hard backed book is where you ll discover just what they learned week by week inside there s a class timetable with the school day broken down into segments such as nature talk milk and papercutting and where the final lessons of the day include percussion nursery rhyme games and dancing there are also individual tabbed sections detailing the syllabus for each subject including religious instruction arithmetic and elementary mathematics reading and dramatisation music and art and there s a record of work at the back of the book detailing the actual lessons carried out week by week until they break for the summer holidays on july 21st 1949 if you re interested in the history of the school from which this came after a little searching i reckon this is the school in question here s a lesson which sounds pretty fun plasticine paper cutting animals plus tucked inside the book there are a bundle of loose sheets of paper where the teacher has made notes on everything from the weight and height of each pupil ideas for the nativity play and a supply list which includes 8lbs of plasticine and 500 wooden beads i know many of you enjoy working in old books adding your own story and style to their pages resonating with history and life so you d love the potential and promise of the blank pages inside where you can add your own creative touches and finally if you are
