Hi, I’m Jenny, and this is Ephemera Drawer — a little corner of the internet for people who love old paper.
Ephemera Drawer started with a simple frustration. Search for “junk journal” on any big marketplace and you get hundreds of results: some lovely vintage kits, and a lot of things that have nothing to do with junk journaling at all. Finding the good stuff takes hours.
So that’s what this site does. I dig through the listings so you don’t have to, and put together focused collections — vintage Christmas ephemera, cottagecore labels, travel tickets, aged paper backgrounds — with an honest note on what’s inside each kit and what it’s best for.
What you’ll find here
- Junk journal kits — curated roundups by theme and season
- Printable ephemera — labels, tags, tickets and collage sheets
- Digital paper — backgrounds and textures for your pages
- Ideas & how-tos — beginner guides, page ideas and supply tips
- Free printables — vintage sheets made from public domain images, free to download and print
How I choose what to feature
I look through the full preview of every kit, check how many pages and what file formats you get, and skip anything that’s low resolution or doesn’t fit the vintage, handmade look. I’m not a professional designer — just someone who believes a good junk journal starts with good paper.
A note on links
