... was what blogger called my saved post. I quite like it so am calling it that too. Minimalist and quite stylish I think! There are a few pictures today as these pages are all linked. The first page is a pen drawing with water added-is this pen and wash? I think it might be. It is of a little girl found in a photo in a drawer in a basement in a junk shop. It is a sweet photo. She reminds me of my Mum when she was little. My Dad recently showed me a box of tiny old photos-mainly of my Gran as a young woman, doing day to day things like being on their farm, posing with a young man, and standing next to someone's motorbike. There were pictures of old pets which were sweet and touching somehow. I have never seen them before which is terrible I suppose. You can see how easy it is for these things to get lost from families and end up abandoned in junk shop drawers. Oh well, I shall look after whoever she was now. Until my stuff ends up in junk shop drawers. I am just depressing myself now!
The brown page is a list of all the second hand purchases I made in a short period of time a couple of weekends ago. It was, as I have written at the bottom, a spree. Some were for the garden, some were for collections-the musical box-which I will show some day on circles of rain, and some were just for fun! (Well they all were really)

Then there is a photo of the actor Peter O'Toole. I have just re-watched the whole gruesome Tudors series, and he was great (and funny-the writers must have felt the need for a bit of light relief from all the torture) as one of the Popes.

Another photo transfer page-this time of a photo of one of my dolls. The drawing is of a woman in the other photo I bought that day from the same place. This one's date is earlier I would say.

Then the two pictures themselves-I will make a pocket in the journal to keep them I think.
