A Word About Packaging

One of the things I find absolutely charming about Italy is the attention the shops put into their packaging. You cannot get out of a store without a bow, ribbon, sticker, wrapping paper, and (of course) "scotch" (what they call scotch tape).

I went to the pastry shop today, and just had to share my experience with you.

Outer Wrapping: Bag with Identifying Sticker

Inside: beautifully wrapped parcel. Note the bow and "scotch".

Inside: Yummies Carefully Protected by a Cardboard Insert
