One of the elements that make each Perfect Diary so beautiful is the use of images from collections of ephemera that appear as background images in the diaries each year. This page shows a small sample of these.
A Message to Collectors
We would like to thank all the collectors who, over the years, have graciously allowed us to use their images and magazines like Collectomania, which told their readers about us.
If
you have a collection of ephemera that you think would look good
in
the diary then please contact
us. Images appear as backgrounds as in the diary page on
the right.
Ephemera (n. a genus of insects whose adult life is very short, that which lasts a short time)
