Our family trip for early Christmas

We went to Singapore for early Christmas celebration.

Mint* Museum of Toys is one of the place I found interested (for me and not the kids).
(* Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys)
The kids prefer playing/touching with them instead of just looking at.

The pic below shows the vintage Christmas Toys mainly from Japan, UK and USA.
This display mainly dedicate to this special season.


Those toys are display in the stairway and also occupied 4 levels of the museum.


The tin toys ....

Vintage enamel signs in the cafe house

Gong Xi Fa Cai = Wishing You a Prosperous New Year

This music album 黒膠唱片 （vinyl records) play on an old player.
(FIL keep about 200 pieces of those antique records, even most of them are older than my age, the sound can comparable to CD and I can say it's even better than CD)

(During my time, the vinyl records was replaced by the cassette.)

Random : shop...shop...shop

a.e.i.o.u printed the old time tags as the gift wrapping paper.

I was so much happy when I found this kind of wrapping paper in little store in Penang Mall.

I bought this wrapping paper too.

The old time stuff (during my young time) are looked so familiar for me.

***********************************************

I just realise that was a fabric craft shop in Queensbay Mall, Penang.

Wish I have more time time, to take some class with them.

Bought this lovely and expensive fabric which imported from Japan.

Some laces and cotton thread.

What I can do with them... bag, fabric journal, doll.....
