Collecting: School Photos and Educational Ephemera

A couple months ago Country Living Magazine had a layout about Educational Ephemera in their regular feature about collecting. The idea of the feature is to highlight what is the new hot thing to collect.

I've always been a fan of school and group photos. I like looking at all the different faces and if the names are there, even better. I like the way it looks in the Country Living layout and think it would be great in a office or library. 

There are a number of school photos on the The Cedar Chest Etsy shop. Here are a few. To see them all check here under photographs.

sick days

I have been sick all this week. I have been staying home, resting and drinking lots of liquids. If I were currently attending bible school, I'm sure I would have gotten this postcard. It's such a lovely picture. The dress, the phone, the vase - I love it all.

The only thing I have really accomplished this week, besides keeping the Ocean Spray and Kleenex companies in business, is that I finally created the Vintage Color Palettes I have been thinking about doing for a couple of months. I am posting them on the other blog PonyBoy Press and they are all pinned on Pinterest, so you can follow them there, too. They are so fun to do! If you aren't quite sure what it's about, you can see the first post here.

Today is Postcard Friendship Friday. You can visit other postcard blogs by visiting The Best Hearts are Crunchy blog and clicking on the blogs listed after the entry. Thanks to TBHC blog for hosting!
