Vintage through and through

Here's the tag I created based on Tim's June tag from the 12 Tags of 2012.  The photo is my husband's grandfather standing in front of his Brooklyn grocery store, or whatever it was called, in the early 1900s.  The dairy cap is authentic as are the World War II meat ration token (small red round disc) and the cancelled check from 1937.  Even the silk tape knotted to the 'cherish' Idea-ology token is vintage - found a large spool of it at a flea market.

Ingredients:  Remnants stamp set; Jet Black archival ink; Sunshine Yellow paint dabber; Vintage Photo, Barn Door, Wild Honey distress inks and stains; binder clip (sanded to look older)
