Snooper's Paradise

I went on a day-trip to Brighton yesterday, and apart from fish and chips on the pier, the highlight was definately 'Snooper's Paradise', an indoor fleamarket stuffed full of weird and wonderful vintage oddities.
I came home with a collection of old pictures of cats. Mostly because I'm a sucker for cute cats and felt sorry that a photo once so lovingly taken was now on sell for 30p in an old tin. But also because I thought they might be a good starting point for a project... 

I also found this rather stylish flowery lady. The name at the bottom of the photo says 'Miss Clara Jecks'. I wonder who she was...?
