high society


on saturday a friend popped round to show me an old suitcase he had recently salvaged that was full of incredible paperwork documenting a wealthy couple's 1928 eight month grand tour through Europe and the US.  travel itenaries, postcards, correspondence letters, receipts from Paris milliners, sport and theatre programmes, travel guide books and maps, just the coolest stuff.  these guys stayed in luxury hotels,  traveled on opulent ocean liners....and anyhow you get my drift. we both had a lot of fun looking through it all and i got to take some photos..i hope you are just as delighted by them

  1. How timely! I just wrote a post on the dying art of letter writing (www.smartykat.com.au). Your photos are a beautiful reminder of this special art form. Thanks for sharing. Love the blog too by the way xx
