The family home was in a place called Puhoi. My grandfather came across on a ship from Bohemia , as a baby, and the family along with many others settled in the wilderness of this rough steep area. I am not sure if you can see how small the house is but it housed 11 family members ( 9 brothers and sisters) My grandfather is the baby on my great grandma's lap.
Again simplicity ruled. Though I say simplicity it always takes time to cut, match papers and flowers etc. The photo has tended to make the flowers look redder and the background paper orange, but in reality they compliment each other nicely. I hand made the tag, smudged some ink on the edge to age it and the rub on had gone past it 'use by date' so I just adhered it to the tag rather than try and get it on to the tag all in one piece. I use a gate embellishment and the lettering was from my stash of alphabets.
