Description:

*(this is a variation on the swap hosted last month by @TheArtfulDogger Not my original idea!)

For this swap, we will gather an assortment of ephemera to send to 1 partner. Some of the items are specific, while others leave room for interpretation.

Please include a note explaining the items you sent & which one is which.

Find & send all of the following 11 pieces of ephemera:

  • something vintage (1969 or older)
  • something with a foreign language on it (not English)
  • something postal-related, other than stamps
  • something non-paper (not cardboard either)
  • a label (not a computer reproduction, but an actual label off of something, like food, wine, etc.; and not a tiny fruit label)
  • a ticket for travel, current or vintage (bus, subway, train, plane, cruise, any travel))
  • a to-go menu from a restaurant you've tried or frequent
  • something with texture
  • something with a picture on it other than a book or magazine page (can be an actual photograph, but try to think of something creative)
  • sender's choice - must be vintage
  • something profile-specific to your partner

Package the items neatly so they will arrive in good condition.

No 1's, 3's, late or no-sends in the last 3 months. I will check profiles before assigning partners.

cool scavenger hunt.. I don't have any tickets though.. :( Can the tickets be facsimiles or do they have to be the real thing?

Must be real, no copies. It doesn't have to be vintage though.

There are only 11 items listed, not 12, unless I am missing something.
