Sweet Vintage Ephemera Collage Pack in Handmade Country Flowers Envelope Small

I’m happy to say I’ve finally started to stock some items in my little Etsy shop. I hope to get creating more and have a fully stocked store soon, but for now I listed a few pretty collage packs.

Sweet Vintage Ephemera Collage Pack in Handmade Country Flowers Envelope with Ribbon Small

I found an old copy of ‘The Country Flowers of a Victorian Lady’ by Fanny Robinson and have handmade little envelopes out of them. Each envelope is then filled with a variety of ephemera and paper items. I hope they’ll be well received. I think they’d make original gifts for friends who like to make collages and craft projects.

I’m always making little cards and finding new ways of decorating gifts so I hope to share some of these with you. What do you think?

Etsy Focus – Present & Correct

This week my Etsy Focus post features London based stationary store Present & Correct. As well as brand new designs, they feature a range of products using ephemera and vintage papers.

“Our work is inspired and driven by a lifelong love of paper ephemera as well as memories of school and the activities we took part in. We look to stamps, labels, tags, picture books and educational aids for ideas and feelings. A new notebook, that first day at school and getting top marks in class. Those are the things we like.”

This cute letter set has been created from 1960s science journals. The graphics and illustrations were just so fun that they couldn’t be left forgotten. Not only will they look great in the post but they might  just teach your recipient something!

How about this for a super gift, or just for your own office? Present & Correct have collected together a selection of vintage office stationery items and popped them neatly inside a recycled jam jar. Great idea!
