Recently I came across these adorable Valentine tags in my closet. I had received them as a little "bonus" gift from a super nice woman I bought necklaces from on Ebay several years back. She was a very unique crafts woman~~she took vintage postcards from holidays or just pretty scenes or flowers and shrunk them down and then took dominos and attached the picture to the domino. Then she would add little colored jewels to the picture to highlight them and add a string for a necklace. They were very cute, and I bought two Halloween ones from her. I LOVE VINTAGE HALLOWEEN! Just the thought of that special shade of orange, you know the one!, and black, is very exciting to me!My friend bought quite a few, and she used them to decorate her Halloween tree! Anyway, when I opened the box they came in she had also included a little "thank you" gift. It was these adorable tags! She photocopied vintage Valentine scenes and postcards onto tags, tea-stained them and then SCENTED them! They were so sweet! Unfortunately, the scent has faded but they are so cute. I think I'm going to decorate a Valentine tree with them. I have several prelit trees around the house that I adore. I had gotten four small pre-lit trees on clearance at AC Moore about three years ago. One is decorated with prim kitchen items, another in Americana, and the other one I always switch around. That will now be a Valentine tree. It was snowmen for Christmas! I'll post some pictures when I'm done and also my kitchen tree, which is my favorite! Check out the two domino necklaces and my precious little tags!
