Old family Bibles have a treasure trove between their covers. As a bookbinder I have been amazed at what has been secreted away in the leaves of these heirlooms. Below are a few of my favorite things.
- dove wing
- ringlets of hair from 12 family members
- bread crumbs
- corsage
- naturalization paper
- land deed
- love letter
- church service bulletin
- flowers
- wedding certificate
- calling card
- newspaper obituary
- scrap of ribbon
- stock certificates
- silver pins
- fabric sample
- old photographs
- paper cutouts
