Celebratory Gift Tag, a Note and a Sweet.

It is with the greatest of pleasure that Viscountess Farnsworth of Comely invites the whole of Amberleigh and its surrounds, to take part in our annual Comely Fete.

We encourage farmhands, carters, spinners & weavers, publicans, shepherds, farrowers, milk maids, kitchen hands, shop owners all.
Don your finest smock or embroide Sunday cloth, for all of the district will be looking to hire workers for the upcoming year.

In celebration of this long hoped for, & well attended event, we shall have ale, meat, cheese & pickle, biscuits & bread; fine tasty cakes & tea, ribbons, braid, and a merry confectioners sweet stall! ................................................................................................

The Swap:

We would like for our village members and those other good friends dwelling on the fringe of Georgian good taste, to join us.

We will be making a fancy shipping label or large gift tag 7"x 2 1/2" or an 8"x3” please keep it fairly flat for a journal. Decorate your label (gift tag) in Autumnal glory, you might choose food from a country fete as the subject, Wheat sheaf's or tankard of ale and cheese and straw (rafia), show how you would share the celebration of attending a good 18thC fete if you lived in those times. Do this within the confines of the cardstock rectangle tag. Pierce a hole, and thread with colourful ribbon or braid etc. paper rafia works well. This label might grace a pocket in a journal if you are making one, (see forum), YES it could be a large wide bookmark if you prefer that term measured as above.
or maybe give as a gifting to a beloved friend or colleague.

In your package
Include a piece of sweet confectionery joy for your partner this could be a manufacturers sealed chocolate bar/disc shaped or boiled sweets, or lollys if in Australia, it does not have to be period related. (do look at their profile to see if they can consume such things, if they are diabetic or have alergies etc, if so, substitute with a tea or coffee or drinking chocolate sachets or something else they would like instead.)

Also Include a short note to your partner, (perhaps from a character who was hired at the fete, or one who did the hiring etc, have some fun (but it is not essential if you are not inclined to play act).

So to define clearly:

• 1 large label/gift tag decorated in the theme of an Georgian autumn harvest celebration.

• A piece of sealed confectionery or its substitute as described above.

• A short note of good cheer

Please join with me in the celebration of Sweet JOY.
