Very Sweet 19th C. Handmade Notebook with Lots of Animal Drawings kitchen decor but have since learned thereThis is a very charming small notebook filled largely with graphite drawings of animals, plus a watercolor cow on the cover, a couple of pages of clipped prints, and a print on pink paper on the back cover: "No Breakfast for Growler!"
