I have some 4 leafed clovers inside a heavy book and when I inherited my great aunt's books, I found pressed flowers, newspaper clippings and photos :-)Jo Grahamhttp://imagespast.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452234259074820196.post-12368861142830092642012-02-13T23:10:31.620-08:002012-02-13T23:10:31.620-08:00I too have found clover and flowers and even a sho...I too have found clover and flowers and even a shopping list.

I would think it's either a memento from a loved one, or possibly a dead child or young relative. I know my mom kept a lock of hair of her father, something she clipped off [discreetly] at the salon, while he was resting in his coffin. I know, I saw her doing it!!<br /><br />That said, I kinda envy you this book. Even if it's not in pristine condition.<br />:)~ <br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452234259074820196.post-35389737437497712412012-02-12T11:01:58.523-08:002012-02-12T11:01:58.523-08:00I've found pressed flowers and a four-leaf clo...I've found pressed flowers and a four-leaf clover, but never a lock of hair - red, no less!

It was a private girl's school and we had the most amazing library. Taylor Caldwell, Janice Holt Giles, I was a book lover back then and still to this day.

I'm sure one belongs to my mother's little brother who died so young.

In my grandfathers confirmation bible I found a total of FOUR pressed 4 leaf clovers between various pages.
