 "Hello,
Let me tell you a little about myself; I am a person with a vintage sensibility. Always on the lookout for cool old stuff, in fact the search and discovery of these wonderful finds are as important to me as the item itself. My family is the same, whether around town or even on vacation, we are always on the lookout for that unique treasure. There's a special look, feel and emotional power that these items hold. They all have such wonderful stories to tell, if we will only listen. I'm sure this special collection will capture your heart too.

We are also on Etsy as these user names: Inkthology as ItsAllTreasure Art -my handmade art shop and ClassicWrecks my husbands junker model art.

Come join us on this treasure hunt." ~Gerri

 "Hi. I love to collect about anything, milk bottles, pop bottles, Tootsie toy cars and trucks, local postcards, Christmas postcards, Coney Island postcards, old clocks and about anything that's unusual.
I enjoy searching antique shops, flea markets, junk shops and yard sales for the junk that I like to collect.
I also enjoy spending time with my wife and children doing things like cheering on the Altoona Curve baseball team, camping, going to the beach or just watching TV.
I sell on an internet auction site currently and found out about Etsy and decided to give it a try.

Check out my shop and don't be afraid to throw an offer at me on something you like." ~Mike Dunkle

"Thanks for visiting our little shoppe which will soon celebrate 5 years on Etsy . The world of ephemera is our passion, so enjoy an avenue for for Victorian, Edwardian, Retro,Vintage paper items, scraps, engravings, old book prints, photos and advertisements! Victorian Trade cards may have been advertising, but they are a glimpse of our history, and wonderful items to frame or decorate with. Vintage advertisements are often humorous to peruse, as some of the items are obsolete, but they also provide provenance for your collectible! Follow us on Pinterest too! Same shop name!"

"Raised by Antique Dealers, I come by my love of all things old easily. I am passionate about illustrations, Victorian prints, and ephemera. ETSY is allowing me to sell what I love, and making it easy. I am looking forward to providing you truly creative folk with imagery, and provide an outlet for those who are looking for inexpensive artwork. Let's have fun together!" ~Reenie Kietzman

Upcycled and Recycled on Etsy - The love of Ephemera

I absolutely adore ephemera and often I have seen books, magazines, etc. that are too damaged to salvage or simply outdated.  While collecting old books can be a great hobby most people would find a common entire copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica from 1950 to be cumbersome and not very valuable.  It may be in great shape but since it was common it really has no value.  So what better way to keep this lovely treasure alive than to upcycle it? 

On the same note I love to upcycle children's books.  Those lovely images dancing colorfully across the page but once you little one decides to scribble over several pages the book loses its luster.  So here are some great Etsy finds salvaging those beautiful words and pages:
