I have some rather quirky collections. One of those are vintage parcel tags intended to send holiday packages. Basically, they are a TO/FROM tags to address a package, but with darling graphics. I never set out to collect these, but somehow I did.
All of those that I have are Christmas, except this one. I'm actually not sure if this one is associated with a holiday or just cute.
These are all fairly simple parcel tags.
Many of those that I have are still in the original packaging and have not been opened.
A simple snowy scene.
I love the tiny details. The typefaces they used are as charming as the graphics.
Darling holiday carolers.
Merry Christmas and holiday bells.
Of course there has to be Santa.
Same Santa one with a silver background and one with gold.
Flip side. Funny they packaged them in 6 and 8 quantity. Note the prices.
A fun collection. They would certainly add the right touch to a special holiday package.
If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ___". A new collection each Tuesday.
Okay, so these may be the cutest thing you've posted in a while and with all your collection madness, that is saying ALOT! They would be so cute framed!
Have an awesome day...

So cute! I have a few of these, but I don't come across them as often as I do just the (dennison) gummed stickers.

Great collection!
I'm partial to the first guy of course! I think he's just cute :-) Of course the other ones are just as darling. Can't beat vintage graphics can you?

These brought back fond memories of painstakingly labeling parcels to be mailed to my grandfather (usually cigars - ugh!) and other far-flung relatives at Christmas time when I was a kid. Mom always bought a package of cute labels to use. What fun this collection is! Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Laurie, I just stumbled on your site and love it! I have just binge read all of your posts for the year. I live about 45 minutes outside of Alameda and just went to the Faire last weekend! Cute stuff!
