Strawberry cream or caramel?

Strawberry cream or caramel?

Chocolates beautifully presented.

Vintage chocolate boxes.

Don’t you just love them?

Exquisitely decorated

With be-ribboned images of glamorous ladies …

… or tender romantic scenes.

Pretty thatched cottages with abundantly filled gardens.

Of roses, foxgloves and lupins.

Cuddly doe eyed puppies ..... 

..... or fluffy kittens adorned with a big bow.

The boxes themselves were utterly charming.

Even the delicately  embossed glascine wrap.

Protecting the delights within.

Nothing sophisticated …

… or perhaps it was then …

Orange cream and coffee cream.

Soft caramel and hard toffee.

Moist coconut, hazelnut and marzipan.

And the one that no one seemed to covet …

… the grainy Turkish Delight.

I’m a soft centre girl myself.

Rose or violet cream.

Wrapped in  dark chocolate ….. yummy!

I have a modest collection of vintage boxes

Filled with ribbons, labels and other vintage goodies.

Do you have a favourite?
