The Art of Packaging

So the post on further nerdom that I promised a few weeks ago is just not coming together for me.  I'll still keep in ruminating in my drafts, but move on to other things in the meantime.

For instance, one of my first posts on this blog was basically showing off some marvelous packaging that some tea I bought came in.  I'm sure I mentioned in that post how much I appreciate something that is packaged with care.  Well!, yesterday I received a belated birthday gift that just made me feel like a classy lady from the 20's.  I can't even tell you how excited I was about this.


Obviously, there's a pair of nylons inside.  But the fact that it came in a box, alone made me feel like I was in an episode of "Jeeves and Wooster".



And they're wrapped in tissue?!  Be still my beating heart.



And there they are, nylons.  Maybe not silk, like they would've been back in the day, but a girl can pretend.  



And in case I needed to be transported any further into the 20's, look at the design on them.  Fan-TAB-ulous!  

And in case you wanted to get a pair of these beauties for yourself: https://www.etsy.com/shop/galstern
