Do the Strand - 1901 Style!

I found this vintage Sunday Strand book from 1901 in a second hand bookshop while I was on holiday.  It is made up mostly of religious stories and moral tales.

 

It has some fabulous illustrations - with equally fab captions!

 

Don't like the look of those rockets!

Not really the kind of question a lady should ask!

 

This is from a series of strange doll adventures - one of them involved bull fighting!!!

 

I love this Louis Wain illustration of cats.



 

I have to thank Mrs C at Crivens Cottage for sending me this lovely little lavender heart with Shortbread and Ginger sewn on - it smells lovely.  She also included gorgeous postcards and some lovely trimming - I'll have to think about what I'm going to do with it.  Isn't it fabulous to receive such thoughtful gifts!

 

 

Enjoy your weekend.

Love, Liz
