I discovered this tiny booklet at my local car boot sale one morning. It always amazes me that paper items such as this survive the years so well. I imagine it would have been given out at a Sunday School during the 1930's.
The illustrations truly are treasures and their colours are as fresh as when they were first printed.
Beautiful cottage gardens full of delphiniums, roses and hollyhocks....
...With pretty girls tending them.
Each one typical of the 1930's style.

Hi Niki, you do manage to find the most wonderful things - I think I'm going to have to rummage much more thoroughly next time I go thrifting. The book is just delightful!

ReplyDeleteWell that is just precious! I love the last little poem you've pictured!
ReplyDeleteI seem to have missed loads of your posts so have just had a quick catch up. Especially love this little booklet, I'm always attracted to those 30's type gardens full of herbacious flowers.

What a great find! The illustrations and color are fabulous. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog through Micheles. This book is so lovely, I would have loved to have found it, you lucky thing. The last page on your post sounds like a Mabel Lucie Attwell verse, I have one of her cards with a very similar sounding rhyme. I am going to have a good trawl through your blog. x
