CELEBRATION BUREAU



October's bureau is home to items from the past which are linked to the things we celebrate such as birthdays and weddings. Items include wedding photographs, greetings cards, cake decorations, gift tags, gift boxes and paper decorations. Below you will find images and descriptions of these curious objects which I have sourced from flea markets and second-hand shops.
