Description:

Do you travel for work or with the family in the spring? This is the first in a series (we'll do a few more in the summer) of collecting travel ephemera while out and about. Collect and stuff a small envelope of travel ephemera:
ticket stub
map
menu
art gallery ad
postcard
theme park ad
local event happeing during your stay
business card(s)
humorous local newspaper headline photo you took
tissue from a local store
all or part of a colorful paper bag
interesting/funny napkin or placemat
promotional brochure(s)
bar coaster
matchbook or box
tag (luggage)

bonus points for adding a local rubber stamp (can be hand carved), creating an ATC and including a flat, found object. Even more if you visit a local thrift shop, flea market or yard sale and find a flat treasure...be sure to let your partner know the story behind the find!

Have Fun!

P.S. Not traveling this spring, but have a stash of trip ephemera? Consider joining with that epehemra on hand - likewise, don't overlook a day trip to a local attraction (beach, museum, etc.)

This does sound fun. I live in a tourist state and could nab tons of local things but I am not planning any travel between now and early May that I could collect elsewhere. I will keep my eyes open for a future swap of this type.

Don't hesitate to consider a day trip to a special local attraction -- or dig into your ephemera box from a previous trip.

If you're hosting another one for summer and this is international I will definitely join that one...otherwise I'm not travelling anywhere in spring...

Hi Augustmoon -- I am traveling extensively this summer overseas, so PLEASE let me know when you start a summer version. I'll be on the lookout for interesting ephemera during my travels.
