Oldbook Vintage Masking Tape

Very cool idea from Esty shop Nothing Elegant. I'm really digging this way cool ephemeral looking masking tape made from traditional Japanese "washi" paper.

This unique multi-use masking tape looks flat-out gorgeous. Ideal for color coding, labeling, school and art projects.

Check out this wicked fun collection of Head Props and then some from those keen-eyed Ephemeral Phreaks over at Swapatorium.

Book Trade Labels

Anyone who handles old books will have come across these small and sometimes beautiful labels pasted more or less discreetly into the endpapers.


Publishers, printers, binders, importers, distributors and sellers of books -- new, second-hand and antiquarian -- used to advertise in this way their contribution to bringing the book to market.


Grab some fresh coffee and check out the gallery over at Seven Roads.

Have a great weekend!
