French Ephemera.
I have a thing for it.
Crazy truth.
Whenever I see old French paper I have to stop to check it out.
Name cards, invitations, announcements…
Bits of a history of a story once lived.
Menus from weddings, birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries…
Handwritten music.
Journals, magazines, patterns, notebooks –
King's announcements, protocol, old book pages, pieces of history on cotton wad paper.
Book pages
Dictionaries
Bibles
Stacks that appear as artwork to me.

The amazing book I bought from the man I have called, "The Paper Guy" for years.
Once upon a time I found … dated 1739 from King Louis the 13th. It was one of the best things I have ever found.
Documents , legal transactions, inheritance ledgers,
dowries,
baptismal records-
I love it all especially if it is on cotton, with black ink script and earlier than the 18th century.
Books without covers, exposing a certain je ne sais quoi?
