Amelie and Jean Pierre, French Inspired, Haute Couture, Children's Two In One Gift Tags Set of 2

New this Autumn is our Children's line of nostalgic Vintage and French Inspired Gift Tags and Greeting Cards, "Le Bebe," by Chandler Michelle, a small division of La Petite Plume Designs, Int'l.

Set of two Ex-Large gift tags, 5x2.75, created on textured, sturdy card stock in French Rose, layered with a shimmery, swirl textured parchment in Antique Pearl. A whimsical pattern of the young brother and sister in the palest of Blush, absolutely one of my favourite colors, having a playful day perhaps in the country side in south France. No need to buy a separate greeting card- we took care of that for you by creating a Petite Greeting in the same pattern! Finally, all bottom corners have been cut into romantic French Tips. These beauties would not be complete without Chandler Michelle's signature style; a dusting of high end Imported glitters and Genuine Swarovski Crystals in also in French Rose, dotting the lazy trees, for a spectacular sparkle! A generous amount of Vintage seam binding in Rose Pearl, two feet (24"), ties at the top. Plenty to tie around a big gift. Large blank space on the backside should you wish to write a bit more.

These are a must for anyone expecting a baby girl, baby shower, congratulatory gift or a little lady celebrating a birthday!.

Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String...or Ribbon

I guess a some point or other, we have all heard this unforgotten song from "The Sound of Music", "Favorite Things", and ran around singing it endlessly as if we too were Julie Andrews on some mountain top in Austria I believe it was. "Brown paper packages tied up with string". Well this song is just so fitting for when I wander off into the world of my now favorite site for all things beautiful in the mind of SANDE from A GIFT WRAPPED LIFE.
