Tag....

I am enamoured with these vintage style tags.  They are beautiful and charming.  Made from acid-free paper and embellished with ivory seam binding, the reverse side is white to allow for a personal note. 

The 'oh lala' factor... the simple but elegant ribbon.

In these days of texting and email, I was overjoyed when I stumbled onto to the amazing space that offers these throw-backs to a more nostalgic time.

Here's more 'tag' beauty
