Step into the charming world of junk journaling at this vintage ephemera workshop in Swinfen and learn how to turn beautiful paper treasures into a nostalgic, one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Vintage ephemera includes those lovely little items – such as tickets, postcards, and stamps – that were once meant to be thrown away but are now the perfect ingredients for creating a meaningful journal. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned crafter, this session is all about slowing down and getting inspired by simple scraps.
You'll receive a warm welcome and a refreshing drink before getting hands-on with your very own journaling kit. Your friendly teacher will guide you step-by-step through the process, sharing plenty of tips as you create pages, pockets, and tags together. It's a low-pressure environment where you can enjoy a few creative hours just for you in a cosy brick barn.
During this class, you will:
  • Explore a variety of vintage-style materials – Discover how to layer and arrange different textures and papers.
  • Master journaling techniques – Learn how to construct interactive elements like pockets and decorative tags.
  • Personalise your work – Use the provided kit or add your own personal photos and papers to make it truly yours.
  • Enjoy a relaxing atmosphere – Sip on refreshments and enjoy delicious pastries while you create.
You'll finish the afternoon with a renewed sense of creative spark and a beautiful, handmade journal to take home. This experience offers a wonderful way to switch off and find joy in the tactile process of papercraft, leaving you with the skills to continue your new hobby long after the session ends.
Please note: the workshop takes place on the first floor of a brick barn gift shop and access is via stairs.
What you'll get
  • You’ll be met with a warm welcome, refreshments, and then dive into your very own journaling kit (everything included!). I’ll guide you step-by-step as we create pages, pockets, and tags together, sharing tips, ideas, and plenty of inspiration along the way.

Hi,
I’m Rachel, the creative heart behind Frankie Doodle, a beautiful gift shop tucked away in the countryside near Lichfield. Frankie Doodle is my little treasure trove selling homeware and gifts, filled with beautifully unique finds and handmade pieces you won’t spot anywhere else. It’s a place where creativity lives on every shelf, some of which have been lovingly made by me!
I’ve always been a huge lover of all things crafting (honestly, if it can be made by hand, I want to try it!). With diplomas and degrees in art, fashion, and textiles, I’ve spent years honing my skills, but my real passion is sharing that creativity with others in a relaxed, welcoming space.
Upstairs in my shop, you’ll find my cozy workshop set inside a charming brick barn, surrounded by other gorgeous independent businesses and lovely places to eat, making it the perfect little day out.
In my workshops, I’ll guide you through creating your own beautiful pieces, whether that’s junk journals, scrapbooks, handmade cards, or fused glass designs. Everything is designed to be fun, inspiring, and completely beginner-friendly—no pressure, just creativity, good vibes, and maybe a little bit of glitter.
Whether you come along solo, with friends, or as part of a special celebration, I want you to leave feeling proud of what you’ve made (and maybe a little bit more in love with crafting too).
I can’t wait to welcome you into my creative world.
