Ephemaera is a fictional town where strange things happen. Every month a new video is posted on YouTube with the local news, and through this mail club you can receive additional tangible goodies that are perfect for journaling, but also nice to look at.

A Short History of Ephemaera: 

For a long time Ephemaera was under the influence of the Journalists: evil, conniving creatures that fabricate stories and manipulate their audience. Slowly the town turned bleak. Not only in color, but in essence. The Journalists gave rise to a minimalist approach to life, and Ephemaera’s citizens paid the price.

But things were brewing on the other side of the spread. A few of Ephemaera’s residents got together to create beautiful stories rooted in the truth. And so, the Journal Club emerged. Their movement quickly gained favor, and soon the Journalists were driven out of Ephemaera. But they still lurk around the borders…

After this tumultuos period, the municipality and The Journal Club merged.
Because there are none more qualified to run a town than creatures who journal.

----------------

While the goodies you receive in the mail can always be used for journaling, they are better appreciated if you follow Ephemaera’s story. Every 1st of the month a new chapter unfolds.
