It appears to be big business I can tell you! I assume that many people collect Victorian scraps for art projects, such as decoupage, but some of the scraps go for quite a lot of money when you think that they have just been removed from old albums, and were originally just bits and pieces collected by children and young ladies of the time.

Anyhow, those of you who have looked at some of my jewellery collection I’ve shown here will know that I love things with hands in, so here are some from my little gathering of scraps. Don’t know that I shall buy more, but maybe a nice Victorian Valentines or Christmas card would be great for my collection. Watch this space!
