The Salvaged Story Ephemera & Page Pack

Rosie would save the scraps.

The torn page. The faded ticket. The old floral image, the stamped fabric, the envelope that once held something important. Not because every fragment was precious on its own, but because each one still knew how to become part of a story.

Nellandra would make it beautiful. Amaranth would sort it properly. And somewhere between the three, the archive would grow.

The Salvaged Story Ephemera & Page Pack is a collection of vintage, reclaimed, reproduction, and bookish paper materials for junk journaling, scrapbooking, collage, mixed media, letter-making, art journals, memory books, and handmade archives. Choose from floral or fashion page packs, assorted vintage ephemera, scrap paper crafting bundles, vintage children’s book pages, or fabric tape strips made from vintage fabric scraps.

These packs are not mass-produced paper pads. Many pieces begin as authentic vintage items, salvaged pages, reclaimed materials, or found objects that have been carefully gathered, scanned, reproduced, coordinated, and packaged by hand. Because vintage and reclaimed materials vary by nature, each pack is unique.

The Floral Page Pack includes floral images made from authentic vintage items that have been found, scanned, and recreated for journaling and paper crafting. The Fashion Page Pack uses the same format with vintage fashion imagery. Each includes marbled matte pages, tabs and tags, pocket cut-outs, and matte stickers.

The Scrap Paper Crafting Kit is an assorted bundle of vintage and reproduction paper for collage, junk journaling, and mixed media art. The Assorted Vintage Ephemera Kit is a fuller curated collection that may include vintage papers, stamps, letters, postcards, photos, tickets, envelopes, stamped fabric, reproduction prints, tags, tabs, stickers, decorative paper, and other reclaimed bits and bobs.

The Vintage Children’s Page Pack includes 50+ pages from vintage children’s books in assorted sizes and patinas, perfect for nostalgic collage, playful journaling, storybook scrapbooking, and altered-book projects. The Fabric Tape Pack includes 20 peel-and-stick strips made from vintage fabric scraps, ready to cut with scissors and use in journals, collages, and mixed media work.

These materials come from A House of Books, a woman-owned, handmade, eco-friendly bookish shop based in Grandville, Michigan. Their work is rooted in a love of books and a commitment to salvaging every usable part of books and materials that can no longer serve their original purpose. Through handmade journals, ephemera, page packs, and book-related gifts, A House of Books gives forgotten books, worn fabrics, discarded papers, and overlooked materials a second life.

For the artist, the journal keeper, the scrapbooker, the archivist, the collage maker, and anyone who believes old paper still has something to say.
