EJ: Tiny Ephemera

An Oldie but Goodie!

This is one of my favorite swaps on Swap-Bot. So I felt compelled to revive it. This is simple...

I love tiny ephemera and I love how little it costs to send! Don't you?

For this swap, tiny ephemera is anything that is approximately 2" x 3" (5 cm x 8 cm) in size or (preferably) smaller. That's about the size of an average playing card or business card.

Send each of your partners a minimum of 10 pieces of tiny ephemera. Though it is not required, please consider checking their profiles for preferences. Be creative in selecting your ephemera. Send a variety of items and avoid things that most of us can easily get.

Also, it should go without saying, but please don't send soiled or excessively crumpled items. Used items are totally appropriate for this swap, but make sure they are not in yucky condition. Think about what you would like to receive!

Here is a list of ideas for tiny ephemera:

postage stamps tags buttons labels, stickers matchbook covers bits of ribbon tokens, keys, charms business cards tickets cut-outs from magazines or books that meet the size requirement playing cards (don't send common ones) game pieces super small photos pieces of cool packaging

PLEASE DO NOT SEND COMPUTER PRINT-OUTS OR PHOTOCOPIES. SEND ACTUAL EPHEMERA.
