In another world with Daisy...

Posted on 1:00 AM by fdgdfg
I feel as if I have just stepped out of another time, of the early 1900's, a world of beautiful yet uncertain times. A time of love letters, secret scribbled postcards, waiting for loved ones to come home. I was fortunate today to enter the worlds of Charlie and Daisy and live the precious moments they shared though an extraordinary correspondence which has only recently been rediscovered. The following is only a tiny portion of the amazing letters, postcards and handmade cards I was able to explore today. They were found in an old suitcase that has not only survived for over 90 years but preserved these beautiful pieces of history in quite a remarkable way.

Her name was Daisy, Alice Daisy and Charlie would write her incredible love letters..

This stunning handmade card and scarf were handmade in France and bought during World War One to send home to Charlie's sweetheart Daisy.

One of Charlie's love letters filled with secret messages and a kiss for every mistake that he had made throughout the letter.

My favourite postcard that Daisy sent to Charlie, which told him to take note of this poem..

Love from Daisy Dell...

There are so many more pictures and tales to tell and so little time or space to explain the amazing world of Charlie and Daisy. I was so moved an inspired by everything I read, I felt I owed a little to Charlie and Daisy, to become a part of their world as they had shared so much with me.

Rekindling a vintage world..

Wishing you a beautiful day, full of love letters and vintage beauty..
