Vintage Magazine Notes from Fake Forest

We love these vintage magazine notes from Fake Forest. Each set includes 10 sheets of recycled paper and 5 window envelopes. The envelopes are 100% post-consumer and made from popular periodicals like LIFE and the Saturday Evening Post from the 1950s through the 1980s. The creators of these notes buy from a variety of garage sales, thrift stores and magazine warehouses so each is an authentic souvenir from the days of early advertising. No computer printing or scanning is involved and each is hand selected making no two envelopes alike. The writing sheets are printed by an offset printer using “direct-to-plate” film-less technology without photographic chemicals. Even the packaging is low impact with a 100% biodegradable cello bag, a recycled label, non-toxic adhesives and soy-based inks. The notes can be found at BTC Elements for $9.00 (and is apparently one of their most popular items). ::Fake Forest
