The lazy guide to organising ephemera (and peek into my junk journals)

[@49dragonflies]

OMG such gorgeous journals! I love love love how you combine the vintage books with bright neon colors! What an inspiration. THANK YOU!

[@michellejohnson6346]

The flexibility of working in different journals and letting them rest for a bit until you feel called back to work in them,,, ahhhh. This is something that I also do and it continues to serve me and my creative practice well. Often times, when I go back to work in an older journal it feels like meeting up with an old friend and we pick right up where we left off. Great video Caylee, thank you!

[@JohannaClough]

Your journals are exquisite and so is your studio space 😍😍😍😍

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

[@KatieMoody]

Your journals are all so stunning Caylee. I love all the vintage paper you use and how your journals all link together with your beautiful handwriting. So inspiring!

[@LaurenFairwx]

What a beautiful video! Your work is absolutely stunning. That piece of furniture with all of the drawers full of paper is wonderful! So inspiring. I can’t get over the way your journals turn out - they’re so lovely and creative and I get so much joy from seeing them and hearing you talk about your process. Thank you for sharing them with us!

[@CayleeGrey]

Aww such a kind comment. Thank you. It took forEVER to find those drawers, I love them so so much.

[@EmmaDurrans]

I love your studio space so much! Loved seeing into your journals too x

[@CayleeGrey]

I’m in LOVE with the space. I have to remember that cause it’s quite far from my home and I’m getting tired of driving 😀

[@jennyroberts]

The ephemera you have is utterly gorgeous.

[@hollyfield1303]

non fiction helps you live a life, to live experiences without really going through it maybe fiction have the "Hero" path in them. Scifi is good for that. I love that you mentioned discussion groups. it helps our thinking skills and challenges our thinking Marking books books leave a piece of your self as well as going back to read later can show how you have grown. you become a new person and your brain is completely different after you hit 5000 hours. keep going! this was awesome!

[@janetjoehlin1484]

I love this!

[@lucylushedoe3090]

hey do u have indoor grafitti on a wall (behind some of the ephem u were showing us)?! i never wanted the headache of owning (and fixing! and taxes etc) a home, BUT have always wanted to go wild w paint! might be sorry but that ok too... i enjoy your voice and laidback manner. and now want an antique ledger! sigh... will look at amazon and see how the faux's doing... NOT the same i know but! 🙆 🙏💐🙋🌻

[@CayleeGrey]

Yes! It’s graffiti on the inside. I love it so so much. I didn’t paint it, though. My studio is inside an old slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse kinda fell apart and there’s graffiti all around it. When they decided to renovate it they kept the original bits. So there are crumbly walls mixed with graffiti. I lovvvve it 😍

[@CayleeGrey]

And maybe you can find some real ledger that’s been scanned in to print!

[@polika3917]

I just stumbled across your channel bc Erin Ware did mention you in one of her latest videos. I'm in Germany too. May I ask from where do you get all the amazing vintage "German" paper? Your style is wonderful. 🤗👌🏼💮

[@CayleeGrey]

Erin is a top favourite of mine. I find most of my German papers on eBay! There is so much of it. I will search "konvolut" which is cheaper than buying one by one. They have great old ledgers there too.

[@polika3917]

@@CayleeGrey Thank you so much for this tip 🙏🏼🤗🌺

[@myhappyspace4533]

Beautiful journals. I am a fellow South African from Cape Town. How did you end up in Germany?

I love meeting SAfricans on the internet. Came here for my husbands work and stayed here for mine 😀
