I’m loving the packaging design and concept behind Happy Lab confectionary/sweets, there are no stores in my state otherwise I’d go take a look for myself! One wish, that they would put more information on their website about the products, perhaps they’re keeping it nice and clean until their online store opens but I did find myself wondering what, beside good looking and attractively packaged, the above sweets are (can’t read the labels).

You may remember my excitement at finding these sardine shaped chocolates, well this afternoon I popped into Chocolate to die for to look for a little treat and there they were, right near the door :) The packaged sardines I mentioned were there but I picked up two of the stray ones.

I had to take a photo of this wine bottle I spotted last night. The paper of the label is an oh so slightly off-white with a lovely texture, the illustration is very sweet and I love the overall design, but what really grabbed me is the crazy hypnotic eye of the bird… what the? It’s fantastic and baffling.

Chocolate sardines… chocolate in the shape of a sardine, with realistic sardine-looking foil wrappers, in a tin that opens with a little key like a real tin of sardines. I would buy these and never open it because this packaging is just too perfect.

I enjoy reading recipes so much – & I love looking through well designed cook books… neither of which unfortunately help my cooking skills. This one is John’s but I don’t think he appreciates the cover as much as it deserves ;)
