I don't know what ever inspired me to work with these colors and this theme, but I just got started and it was so much fun I kept going!
There's a spot on the inside cover for a memo or title...and antique sheet music and vintage storybook illustrations on the first page
Vintage wrapping paper and a pumpkin tag
Vintage movie schedule and trading stamps
More book illustrations and vintage paper ephemera...
and wrapping paper scraps...
vintage jeweled trim...
It's 8 pages, decorated on each side, to make 16 pages to fill up and finish!
The cover is decorated with a vintage doily, button, and antique black silk bow, plus an illustration from an antique storybook!I've just listed it in my handmade Etsy shop, Twice Shy Restored.

FANTASTIC!!! Love the book and all the fun autumn colors. I think my favorite page is the little boy peeking from under the table leg.
I got your sweet little thank you gift and love it! I will post on it and leave a link back to you. I adore the layered paper flower embellishment. I have put it on my inspiration board where I can admire it. Have a super sweet week and thank you for the congrats on our new family member.
I love this! Lots and lots of happy paper! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Hi Laurie,
You did a fantastic job on this book. I love it. It would be the perfect book to capture this Halloween. I am off to check out your Etsy store! Thanks for visiting my blog. I really enjoy hearing from you!

Wow you have been busy! Beautiful job, very sweet!
By the Way- who is the next word of the week person??
What a lovely book - very pretty in all its autumness! I am afraid that I am a very messy journal keeper, I am sure to spoil this little beauty if I were to keep a journal in it. By the way, who did you pick to choose weekword this week?
Re weekword - Oops, no, I wasn't volunteering - I chose one just a few weeks ago. Let's rather wait to hear from Natalie ...
Laurie,

Laurie, This is a fabulous journal! Did you do the spiral binding too? I've always wanted to learn that method though I think it takes certain tools to accomplish this. Your artwork is such an inspiration to me! Love the autumn colors and all of your creative uses of ephemera! LOVE IT!!!
Wonderful journal, Laurie! Simply gorgeous! Hugs, Viola! :-)
