I get lots of questions about my business name - Ephemera Events Co.
Sometimes I question my choice of names! But I had a vision and a purpose even if I confuse everyone. “Ephemera” is a catch-all term in the world of antiques and collecting for anything paper. As defined, “the documents of everyday life, paper-based, printed items, including menus, ticket stubs, newspapers, postcards, posters, sheet music, stickers, and greeting cards or even wallpaper.” My intention has always been to incorporate these beautiful vintage images into what I do from invitations to stationery. It’s striking how these historical images are all the rage again. Open a wallpaper book today and you are looking at many images that are largely historic. These images are featured in decorative wings of museums around the globe - chinoiseries, murals, trellises and florals to name a few. Old is new again.
