Collecting Life Ephemera for the Nested Envelope

We go through our days and often don’t remember what we did or where we went! Collecting small bits and bobs helps us remember and document our lives, and gives us information. Consider collecting the following things for your nested envelopes.


Tip

Keep a small zippered pouch or an envelope in your handbag to store your daily finds as they happen.


Magazines

Sit down with a cup of tea and a stack of the latest monthly magazines. Start flipping! Every time you see an image, color, design or text that speaks to you, rip it out and make a nice little pile.

Life Ephemera

Collect business cards, receipts, tags, menus, etc., from your daily journeys.

Stuff
