PAPER EPHEMERA |
|
HOW IT BEGAN I started saving tickets from school productions in the late 1950's and added to them as I saw professional shows at Doncaster and on holiday at Great Yarmouth. Then I began to include dance tickets, entrance tickets, invitations, clothes labels, restaurant bills and many other scraps of paper that any sensible person would throw away! They are stored in the 17 albums (with self-adhesive plastic-covered pages) shown in the photograph on the right. |
