At the April paper doll party, we were sitting around talking after just finishing up a Chinese raffle.
Someone mention their daughter wanted to start a collection like her Mother had her paper doll collection. The mother came up with Hang Tags. Guess in the days passed they made hang tags very ornate and colorful.
Here are some I found in a box in my drawer. The heart shape ones came off of small stuffed animals & figures called “Beanie Babies Collection” Korey must have at least 50 from his younger days. Since the tags told a rhyme, I kept them. One I just grabbed is for “Mac” date of birth June 10, 1998.
- Mac tries hard to prove he’s the best
- Swinging his bat harder than the rest
- Breaking records, enjoying the game
- Hitting Home Runs is his claim to fame!
Another one is “Chip” date of birth,January 26 1996.
- Black and gold, brown and white
- The shades of her coat are quite a sight
- At mixing her colors she was a master
- On anyone else it would be a disaster!
Now one of these days, when I am bored, Ha! Ha! I need to match these up the the figures and animals so we know what tags go with what item.

The football shaped ones came off of Tee Shirts Korey wanted for birthdays and Christmas. Found 3, not sure there are more in my drawer. We have here Terrell Dais #30 – issue day JAN 1999 and Jerry Rice #80 same issue date. These came from a company called Salvino’s Bammers. They give a short bio on the players.
The at Home with Mary Englebreit came off the free bee table. I do not know what it came off of, but the article was purchased from the Toy Works, Middle Falls, N.Y.
