Envelope patterns

As a mail artist and collector of ephemera, I was of course drawn to these ubiquitous yet strangely lovely patterns found on the inside of envelopes. I have used an old stamp album to collect them together. If anyone would like to contribute, please tear me a piece of that envelope before you throw it in the trash.

Random game boards

Just a couple of game boards I found in the charity shops recently.

South African 45rpm picture covers

Amazing how you can tell the era just from the typography and design.

some recent finds

surprise

Haven't seen a lucky packet in the shops for years then yesterday I came across this beauty.

Needle books

Bottled water labels

Something I haven't really actively collected but just seem to have gathered along the way.
