April 9 Theme: Victorian Spring Scraps & Sentiment
Before modern stickers and trading cards, Victorian children collected beautifully printed paper scraps featuring birds, flowers, and pastoral scenes. These colorful die-cuts were traded among friends and carefully pasted into scrapbooks or keepsake cards.
During April’s After Hours, guests will create a Victorian-style bookmark using reproduction spring scraps, celebrating the season just as families did in the 1800s.
Come spend an evening stepping into the past and discovering the small traditions that shaped everyday Victorian life.
