Ephemera (ih-fem-er-uh) definition: Items of collectible memorabilia, typically handwritten or printed paper, that were originally expected to have a short term use.
Old post cards, calling cards, advertising pieces and greeting cards are now collectible and referred to as ephemera.
TARA’S TAKE ON DESIGN:
I love vintage ephemera and this photo collage of antique postcards I’ve collected years ago has inspired my blog for April! Ahhh…the handwritten note; is there anything more lovely?
