Full Description
Like other books by Susan Meller, Remnants of Childhood gathers up everyday objects from people’s lives and brings them into focus on the pages of this book–pieces of cloth designed especially for kids; patterned cotton feed and flour sacks repurposed into dresses; children’s hankies; whimsical baby bibs; muslin storybook books, and much more. The common thread weaving through this book is cotton cloth. The time period is the 1880s through the 1950s. The theme is Americana.
