Vintage Ephemera
I was sorting/cleaning before I had my big surgery and realized I am a collector. Collector of almost anything old. I get it from my Dad, he was a collector too. He would open his drawer of old collected treasures and one by one we would examine each item..he would tell me how he acquired the old thing and usually there was a story or two. Now, I have my own drawer of treasures and over the years my collection has grown. I usually have two categories...Ephemera paper (flat) and Ephemera Misc (bulky stuff). When I am out and about at garage sales, thrift stores or antique shops I always keep my eyes open. You just never know what you might find. I also look on eBay. Sometimes you can find paper ephemera or junk drawer lots for cheap. It takes patience with eBay, but the payoff can be worth it. I took some of my paper treasures and scanned them so I could keep using them in my mixed media and scrapbooking projects. You'll find the links below..I hope you like them as much as I do!
enjoy,
melissa
