Welcome back to my tour of East Jersey Olde Towne Village. We finally come to the areas that were staffed. I enjoyed talking to this housewife about her daily life. The house has a small garden to the side, though most of the plants were well past the harvesting stage. I liked that they had included a half-door, and she was standing in the doorway awaiting my visit! The tour covered only the first floor and focused primarily on the kitchen, which was fine with me.
This layout is based on one of the CM Virtual Crop Sketches from November 2025. Scroll to layout #2 (I turned it to the right). November 2025 was also a Secret Box opening month, and I always buy those kits. This one included the border maker cartridge you see on the right side of the 4" strips. I wasn't sure that the 3 strips would align correctly when stacked, so I carefully placed them on the paper holder as I wanted them on the page. Post-it notes help to hold paper in place if you need more stability. The brown border sticker is a leftover from an older kit in my stash, but I thought it worked well with this layout. There were also leftover buttons and hearts, which reflected the homey feel of the photos.
Connie, you go to the most amazing places! As a history lover myself, I need to use your blog as my personal travel agent - LOL. Love the fun geometric border down the middle of the page and the simple things tag.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl! It's the quest for the National Park Units and stamps that takes me to such unique locations. If you haven't checked out that group, there's a link on the right. We do nothing but talk about our travels! Maybe I'll meet you at a park someday!
