One of the dreamiest things I can think of finding tucked in between the deteriorating pages of an old book is a little drawing. There's something really special about finding an old doodle by some kid or little sketches drawn inside some girl's elementary school notebook. So far I've only found one doodle hidden inside an old book I've found, and it is already framed and hanging on my wall! But, I was browsing through the photostream of the always incredible Swapatorium2 and discovered a whole set of found drawings and doodles. I can't even imagine stumbling upon half of these! They make my heart beat a little faster!

These are amazing!! It's so funny to think that there was a time when girls would draw pictures of Joan Crawford and Ziegfeld Follies girls .. . it's wonderful!
Wow, how fabulous!!! :o)
I love these! I bought a cool old fashion drawing from the early 40's a while back and still need to blog about it.
I love the Anita Page drawing!! They're all so wonderful :)
I love when that happens! I was going through old books at the antique store today too and found little notes here and there, it's the best of surprises! :)
these are just so amazing!
Oh these are so cool! I can't imagine finding something like these...it brings you so much closer to the book's previous owner.
i think i am having the exact same feeling. something about the quality of the lines. so intentional! just lovely.
gorgeous drawing indeed!

These are some drawings I found in my home, from a friend of my grandparents. I felt so lucky and inspired when I found them!

so cool! i always want to leave a little something in books i return to the library, maybe i will next time...
interesting drawings..
nice blog :)
Fantastic! These would look so great framed in mis-matched wooden frames all bunched together on a wall.
Lovely drawings! I too would love to stumble upon these in some old book! And I love your blog. I enjoy making collages as well :-)
I love these! I'm happy you found them, even if they're on the internet and trapped between the pages of one of your books!
This has taken me back to my childhood when I use to draw all day every day. WHat an amazing find
