It is ruffled and lightly laced and has a slight sweet fragrance. It is a modern version of Gordon Plough's TEANAWAY. TEANAWAY is a yellow plic on white ground and is probably in the background. This was one of those tags that the slugs ruined. We borrowed Terry's idea and went to plastic tags after that.
