I bought a large container filled with little vintage Christmas figures. Many of them were marked "JAPAN" or "Taiwan'. None were made in China, which tells me they are not recent. I paid $3 for the whole box at a thrift store a couple years ago. Our grandchildren love playing with them, marching the Santas around, or lining up the angels. This year for our Christmas card Mark took photos of the ones I had displayed on our entryway hutch. For "To & From" tags I just resized the photo. Things got very busy around here before Christmas and I didn't get a chance to upload this to my blog to share for 2010. If you download it now, you'll have some tags ready for 2011. Anyone with a Jeep will really love these. Download, print out, cut out and attach ribbons...you're set for next year's Christmas! I keep all our "To & From" tags in a little box and just keep filling it up year to year, often even cutting up old Christmas cards for tags. I love to use vintage tags, too, and they are plentiful at garage sales.
Anyway, here's the download for our Jeep tags. By the way, we do have a Jeep (2005), which Mark is currently working on---adding a lift kit and new tires (the old ones were very low on rubber, dangerous on our wet roads).
