PLEASE NOTE: I WILL BE AWAY FROM 1 SEPTEMBER TO THE 27TH. ANY BOXES PURCHASED NOW WILL BE POSTED IN THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER. (When I will have tons of cool stuff, I’m going to France and flea markets and yippee!)
The summer 2023 edition of the French Ephemera Bundle Boxes. Each parcel is filled with vintage French treasure to inspire your art journals, junk journals, collage, altered books, or other mixed-media work. Each box is curated by hand and is filled with hard-to-find handwritten paper, post cards, cabinet photos, and French brocante, all authentic and little pieces of mysteries and unfinished stories that have been waiting to be found. (I also add plenty of English and Welsh pieces, too. Because they are here. And I can.) To see still photos, scroll down.
