You can't get the feel of the size from my photo, but this a a really small (slightly bigger than a child's juice box) little box of my favorite candy. I couldn't resist getting it at the grocery store the other day. Like the post title states, I'm a total sucker for packaging. Packaging can totally tip the scale on an item I'm considering.
And speaking of packaging, do you like my new blog banner? The fonts, the white label thingy (technical term for the photoshop inept), the way the flower doodles pop = yummy to me. It was certainly time for a new banner over here. Well, thanks to the fab Miss Moss, I finally have a new one. She even has another idea in the works...lucky for me, and lucky for you too, if you pop by here on occasion, because she has such great design style! Thank you Mary Ann! xoxo
Your new blog banner is wonderful! Mary Ann truly is talented!

Pam,
The new banner is delicious and my mouth is watering with the taste memory of good and plenty. I'll probably have to pick up a box at the market today!
My kids tease me that if they packaged "poo" in a pretty box I would buy it. I once bought a stack of washcloths at Home Goods because I had to have the ribbon they were wrapped with.... sigh

I'm the same way! I love cute packaging and I love mini things. I love those little cans of Coke & Dr Pepper they have out now too :)
Your banner is super cute!!

The white frame is fantastic! I love how it is so intricate next to the loopy background. It's also nice how the white contrasts with the colorful background :D) Wow, and I thought it was a really big box of candy! hahah

Just caught up on your posts... Good and Plenty is my favorite candy too! And I have a box full of packaging saved from candy, Truvia, Crystal Light and all manner of things to alter... Have a wonderful and creative weekend!

Good and Plenty, Yum! Nice new banner.

Ah, my favorite candy too, and I love small packaging. Will look for that one next time at the store. I have been known to buy something I don't "need" just for the package. I give it to a neighbor, with the request for the packaging back...how tacky is that? Your new banner is lovely. Miss Moss is a genius, and so are you.

I love to take cute little packaging like this and use them for templates for favors, etc. Or just alter the packaging. BTW- love your new banner!

Oooooh, I love Good n' plenty; this is so cute! I haven't seen these, yet! I am buying these oh, so cute tea tins. I love tins. I can justify it, by storing craft items in them ;-D

pam, just wanted to say i finally located some of your wrapping paper at a local shop in toronto. i had searched high and lo for some of it online, to no avail. i nearly scared the daylights out of the shop keeper when i yelled, 'oh my gawd, you have this, you have this here, i'll take two of each, no make it three, all this time i've been searching, and it was here just down the street from me!!!". yup, she thought i was crazy. what can i say, i love patterned paper. and i was delighted to get my hands on some of this. will be using it on a project i'm currently working on (http://francescadileo.blogspot.com). if anyone in the toronto area is looking for some, check out red pegasus, on college street. i sure hope you collaborate and make more...

Love your banner...it really pops and is nostalgic...so like Miss Moss! Don't you just love MAM and I'm really jealous of her patio right now...lol
Posted by: Roberta | June 05, 2010 at 08:24 PM
Wow, I absolutely love your new banner. I have been trying to design a new banner for my site but I'm just not very artistic. I had a look at Miss Moss's site which also had a beautiful banner... Might have to keep working on mine.
Oh and about being a sucker for packaging I'm exactly the same. If something grabs my eye, it's almost instantly in the trolley.
