old-fashioned charm

Most of these nostalgic packaging was collected during my college days in London. i was never the traditional kind of gal, but being away from home alone in a foreign place tends to make one sentimental. i couldn’t bear to throw these packaging away then, having them in my room made me feel nearer from home. Shortly after, i discovered a new charm in these old-fashioned packaging and they soon became part of my packaging collection.


Most of the collection here was from London Chinatown.


i don’t fancy almond cookies, bought it purely for its wrap-a-round packaging. As for the pink netting, i can’t remember its content at all. 

Any idea, Chrystal? i remember you kept one of these too :-)


Whatever its content, it costed 98p.


This little bag for rice is simply adorable.


It came with a little recipe suggestion for perfect cooking.


This is probably the latest item here, but it looks quite nostalgic to me.


The only time i drank these was in London. Now, i am back to my Spinelli and Starbucks coffee again.


Nothing fancy... just simple and direct advertisement on the packs.


Light-hearted, playful types.

The good old days remedies.

Jo recommended me to buy this Nixoderm cream. It reminded me of my nostalgic packaging collection immediately when i saw it in the store, and thus this entry :-) As for the Mentholatum cream, i brought it with me to almost everywhere. i called it my “小护士” (little nurse).
