***This listing is for ONE mini folder filled with 22 pieces of ephemera ***
Meticulously crafted and assembled with luxurious artisan material, this one of a kind mini ephemera folder will make a beautiful addition to a journal lovers collection.
I made the folder with a delicately textured dark green deckle edge cotton paper that is held shut with a piece of recycled sari ribbon. The ribbon is attached to the folder to keep it from being misplaced. I added a bee charm on the ribbon to keep you company when journaling. To top it off, the folder has been entirely sewn together without the use of glue, so you don't have to worry about any adhesive deteriorating over time.
The inside features four pockets that are filled with 22 pieces of assorted neutral and nature themed ephemera. These ephemera have been created with both vintage and new materials, giving you a range of imagery and textures to play with.

***WHAT TO EXPECT***
This is a handmade item put together by me in my studio, using both locally and internationally sourced materials. As is the nature of handmade items, there may be some small imperfections in the finished product.
I source my vintage ephemera from a range of items including dictionaries, novels, children's material, encyclopaedias', guide books, sewing patterns, music scores and more! I also source a range of different paper stocks such as glossy, textured and matte to add more variety to your pack(s). I do not use imitation vintage ephemera unless explicitly stated.
My entire vintage collection encompasses a huge date range, from 1890 - early 2000's. This means that some of the ephemera you receive will show signs of its age including foxing*, tears, marks and writing . I choose to include pieces with these 'imperfections' as I feel they are beautiful and tell a story all on their own. If you do not like these marks on your ephemera then this might not be the pack for you.
*Foxing (also known as age spots) is an age related process of deterioration in paper that is caused by the oxidization of chemicals or acids within the pulp from which the paper was made. Foxing does not affect the integrity of the paper and is safe to touch and use (rest assured is it NOT mould. Mould is usually white/black with a furry appearance and has a distinct unpleasant smell that is different from 'old book' smell).
