I have strong feelings of nostalgia about these Strawberry candy wrappers. As a kid growing up in Memphis, I used to go with my mom around Christmas to take families Christmas presents. I remember being in this house, so different from my own with all its sights and smells, the shyest child you could meet, and so generously being offered a piece of strawberry candy in the most wonderful wrapper.

This candy has connotations of older women and their candy jars, so I loved mixing it with this Céline ad campaign.
