just enough... CRAFTY EPHEMERA!

you will receive an 8.5 x 11" notebook-ready plastic page protector sleeve filled with more than *TWENTY* sheets of arts-n-crafts themed ephemera from different vintage books and booklets! Page sizes range from 4 x 6" to 10 x 14"... with a little bit of everything in between! Approximate dates range from mid 20th century to nearly current; paper types range from glossy bright white to middle-aged cream to seriously patina-ed and yellowed with age... the latter either all over or in select areas. topics include sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet, photography, painting, print-making, lettering, color theory, art supplies, macrame, bargello and few crafty projects which defy description entirely! pages hail from craft books, art books, old magazines, pamphlets, "how to" books and... well, lots more! you'll get some sheets of plain text, some with photographs or illustrations, and many are a combination of both; some in color, some black and white or sepia or mono-tone; in every conceivable style from cute to elegant, fun to funky... and plenty of full-on kitsch! it's a really eclectic and really ASSORTED assortment, if i may be redundant, lol? :) a fabulous "kit" for a collage or decoupage project, a fine start to a collection of crafty ephemera, or an instant ATC or art journaling stash. use the originals as they are... or scan, re-size and print on the paper of your choice!

every packet is *GUARANTEED* to be gloriously, wonderfully, individually IMPERFECT!!! you'll find small tears, wrinkles, spots, stains, browning, fading, pen or pencil marks, antique scotch tape, smudges, smears, etc, etc, on virtually every page... and THAT (imo!) is the BEAUTY OF VINTAGE!

rest assured that i use books that are no longer in readable/pristine condition; most have been saved from a date with the recycling center. no "HEALTHY" books were harmed in the making of these assortments! :)

please note that photos show sample packs only! each collection is unique, but as equal in content and variety as humanly possible; i've made them as close to "the same" as you can get when working with unique vintage items!

(pages sized larger than the 8.5 x 11" page protector have either been trimmed, folded, or both, as unobtrusively as possible in order to keep packaging and postage STANDARD SIZED and affordable for both of us!)
