Welcome to my favorite place, my very own flower garden made up of magnificent angels. This is where it all begins, for me that is... and it was truly love at first sight. They inspire me and are the reason that drives my collection to where it is now. I hope you too will discover the wonderful sensation and take on a new beautiful journey...
Check out my facebook page for the rest of the collection.

Introducing my first love, AMK HUB 6-pc spring queen set. The flowers and color combination is absolutely mesmerizing with not only the matching front but back design as well. I still cannot believe that I managed to own a set although many now prefer zodiac and family theme over floral. Maybe it is a little old fashion for some but certainly not me.
Sheng Siong also did a 6-pc floral set with a combination of 6 prosperous chinese words and although the colors are not as vibrant they are equally graceful. I personally think 2012 was both AMK Hub and Sheng Siong best aps after gradually cutting back on their sets to just a single design in 2016.

Bank of China was founded in 1912 by the Republican government to replace the Imperial Bank of China and is the oldest bank in mainland China still in existence. BOC celebrated their 100th anniversary with a 4-pc matching flower theme which has quite similar front and back matching designs as AMK.
Next is Apostrophe with their 4-pc front and back joining sets which actually looks like a 8-pc set and you can't really go wrong using strong colors and patterns, theirs is a charmer!
floral from the banks
Beautiful flowers in beautiful floral designed vases, UOB to my opinion has given us their best floral designs so far. ICBC also did a beautiful piece but UBS and Deutsche Bank steals my heart away with their pink themed roses... wait, according to another collector this pink Deutsche is from 2011... oh well, I will leave it here until I get to jump back into my "rabbit hole" LOL. Fairprice Singapore also has a vase design that is a lil flat, still flowery with an added touch of the butterfly. |
more blossoms
Villamas has a pair of purple themed floral design and they are beautiful with thicker quality paper. D-Link and Marie France both looking pretty in pink while we have another blooming in red... check out the Crabtree & Evelyn family here.
From the courier companies, we have DHL from Singapore and Malaysia side by side, as well as GDEX giving us something classic, a chinese scenery art painting which they continued using the same theme in 2013 and 2014. Longines, my first branded ang pow with simple but elegant touch of floral like the brand itself. The golden packets from OKI and Ascendas both with flower designs while HSBC and HBO went green and planted a golden tree and a golden bonsai tree respectively. From the banks we have Standard Chartered Singapore blind embossed floral and Bank of Tokyo golden fish pond.

More floral designs from the Jewelers, Goldheart and PYT; goldfish from Bright 24; classy fabric from Singtel; bright yellow flowers from Shell and Optimax pair of small little hot-stamping floral.
Deluxe Circle above came out with a 3-pc fish shaped set which is actually quite a unique design back then. Deluxe continues to gives us collectors beautiful sets the next few years, check them out under 2016, 2017 & 2018 (click on the respective year and sniff them out).
Another first of mine is the opera theme from KDK that got me quite hooked much later so I had no idea then that this was and still is one of the popular designs for some collectors (definitely one of those with a high difficulty level to trade). And finally to complete this little garden journey we have the joyful children below from DBS, Shihlin Snacks and Julie's.
