These are all separate drawings of items in a collection of family memorabilia combined into one image created in photoshop. The dress is a christening gown originally worn by my sister...and then me. The clip in the lower left is really pretty, but I haven't identified whose it was...or the story behind it yet. The postcard collection, bound by wooden panels & metal screws, was my mother's. The little snapshot mini album has a leather cover with grommets and a very fragile string holding it all together. The photos inside are from my maternal grandmother's family, as is the small, framed portrait in the upper left corner. I have boxes of postcards, photos and letters, many of which were sent by friends and relatives while they served during WWII. I submit this entry to satisfy the "clothing", "antique or vintage items" and "collection" challenges.

Beautiful Nelly - I especially love your sketch of the dress.
This is really neat -- well drawn, and I'm amazed at what some of you guys can do with photoshop.
Very evocative. Lovely details in the dress.
Very nice Nelly!
This is good, I really like this!! Especially the delicate christening gown. I think you did a wonderful job.
