The Luggage Tags #1

An inspired idea for the place cards on the tables at the Wedding Reception.  #1 & S had a travel theme for the event, and the tags fitted in perfectly. There were maps, travel trunks, etc.  It gave everyone something really useful to take away as a "favour". 

I do like the J.R.R. Tolkien quotation from a poem in "The Fellowship of the Rings", the first volume of "The Lord of the Rings".  #1's paternal grandmother would have rubbed her hands together with much pleasure, and smiled approvingly.  We miss our dear "Maw". 

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
