Birthday book

Sending birthday greetings to a member yesterday reminded me of our family birthday book.

The first entry was dated 1886 it's a beautiful leather notebook with a page a day.

Does anyone else have curiosities like that handed down?

Have a great day everyone

No we don’t but that sounds great. I love the history of such a book.

Stay safe and well ninelives. Xxxx

What a treasure ninelives.

The oldes thing available to our family is a picture of our great great grandfather which I guess is as old as your birthday book :)

Yes, my husband has one created by his mother who was in her 80s when she died 10 years ago. She also had a 'Little book of treasures' with cuttings, poems and sayings she liked. Whenever we hold an arts festival with poetry sessions, we read some pieces from that.

A friend had an old diary from her family giving details of the markets in London where to buy freshest fish ,veges,rag markets etc from around 100 years ago.

How lovely you can share yours at local events.
