Paper Items, Vintage Photos, Postcards and Ephemera
Unlike other shops that buy mass quantities of the same thing, we deliberately search out unique products and make them available in limited quantities. Our paper and ephemera selection is no exception and we often have a wide range of one of a kind vintage photos, cabinet cards, tin types, and sometimes ambrotypes and daguerreotypes. Use them as you please in your mixed media art and altered art projects: altered books, found object art pieces, shadowboxes and shrines, collages, assemblages, etc.

1800s Story Book and Young Girl Carte De Viste (CDV) Photograph Bundle $19.95
I cringe as I type this because I LOVE this bundle. This sweet young girl CDV comes with a late 1800s children's storybook, a piece of aged crocheted lace table cloth, some floral embroidered trim and a couple of very old buttons just for fun. It will arrive wrapped in very early 1900s sheet music.

Maybe you'd like to repurpose the cover and make your own book?
