1892 Drawing Course
Cool Drawing Course! I found this antique drawing course booklet on Ebay. This is Book I of VI that were available for 5¢ in 1892. It offers twenty four pages of drawing exercises and general instructions for position of the body, arms, hands, pencil and book! I couldn’t resist the pretty cover of this artsy find.

I suppose that all of us in the “Gram” category look at our children’s children as the sweetest in the world. I had to grin this morning when our Sydney girl discovered that today marked the six weeks that she had to wait to change earrings in her newly pierced ears. She shared that she was wearing a yellow shirt to match her bumble bee earrings. Sydney is nine and like her mother, well, they grow up much too fast.
