This is a wonderful piece of old French Ephemera! It’s an antique Invoice, with the most beautiful Typography on it! I love that it has the word “Cafes” on it. There’s also a super cute stamp, with postmark and all! Great for Collage or Mixed Media work.
In other News: I’ve taken some of the text from the same old invoice and I’ve created a wonderful printable for you, that you can use for your transfer projects! You can find the printable and tutorial HERE on my new DIY Blog!

May 1, 2011 at 10:01 pmLove these – thank you so much Karen! Just came back from Lucketts and drooled all the way into Fleurish! I treated myself to a few goodies from your store as it is my birthday today (I deserve a treat everyday though!).
I am off to the U.K. on Tuesday to see my mum but will be back in time for the Luckett’s fair and can’t wait! Hope to see you there?

Happy Birthday!!! I’m sorry I missed you, I will definitely see you at the fair though! I’ll be working the main counter, so stop by and say hi!
I’m so jealous that you’re off to the U.K. But of course I hope you have a wonderful time!

Thanks so much for these gorgeous images, the timing is just perfect for me. I am about to do a spread in a Paris Altered Book and the Cafe receipt is just perfect as I’m using Paris Cafes as the theme.
Cheers,

May 3, 2011 at 9:07 amHello,
This is not an invoice, but “une traite” or “lettre de change”. A kind of check used for a deffered payment, cashed a specific date, here “fin mars prochain” = “at the end of March”. Note that the year is not mentioned lol. Very rarely still used today, and only between professional persons.
Kiss from France ;o). Mimi
