Valentines Day Tag. . .

It all started with the arrival of a couple of vintage items in the mail Thursday afternoon.

Recently I won a give away from Cindy at Old Time Farmhouse It was $30 to spend in her etsy shop.  The minute I started browsing I knew just what I wanted.

Then a day or so later I wanted a second peek at it.  I went back and found something else that took my eye.

When they arrived I thought, they are so cute. I want to use them in my Valentines displays.

So that’s what got me playing a game of Valentines Day Tag.  I began having ideas run through my head of Valentines sayings using my new vintage treasures.  I pulled out some craft items and started making tags.

This is the item that I picked first.  Isn’t it SA-WEET! I tried to keep this tag very simple.  It needed that old fashioned feel.

And here’s what I spied when I went back for a second look.  What made me fall in love with this fan was, of course, the red center.

As you may have noticed, I didn’t stop there.  I started tagging several more vintage items.  What’s a girl to do when she’s having so much fun?  I had picked up this pair of locks  a while back at D.I.  I thought they were tag worthy.

From there I went to this old bowling pin.  It belonged to my youngest son when he was a teen.  He hasn’t asked for it back yet. I think it’s ever so cute!

I decided that I didn’t want to over do the tag thing (like I hadn’t already). . .so I just laid this one on an old book.

This old camera is one of my most favorite vintage finds.  Had to tag it!

After that I started thinking of a lot more sayings.  I had to tell myself, “settle down Jann, you haven’t even pulled out your Valentine boxes yet.

Not sure they will stay like this, but I put my tagged items on this table for a photo shoot.  Do you ever wonder if they feel like we are the Paparazzi?

At first I wondered what to do with the cord from the fan.  Then I thought it was kind of fun to use it as a garland.

How about you?  Do you ever get carried away when playing the game of tag?

Thanks so much Cindy for my new treasures.  I love them!

Hugs,

Jann

I love your cute tags and fun photo shoot! I have a great place to take photos in my lanai. I wonder if anyone ever sees me inside, arranging things and taking photos! It seems quite normal to me! heehee!

Oh- I love your new items, too...and I love tagging things. I never really made many of them until last year and it is so much fun. I always feel like I am playing like a child when I create those paper pieces.
I started Valentines with some fabric ones today and they were fun, too. xo Diana
