I really enjoy seeing the vintage Christmas treasures...those candy boxes! Obviously, my mother and grandmother did not think we needed any of them as I had not known that children were gifted with treats in such cute little "animal crackers" kind of boxes until visiting you!
ReplyDeleteWe always received hard candies boxed in this way at the conclusion of the church Christmas fair. They had probably been doing this for years. Apparently at some point my mother found these boxes for sale somewhere and bought a bunch of them.
DeleteIf it were not for that Christmas fair, I wouldn't have known these existed either!
2018-07-19 My sister-in-law told me just today that she and John and the others received these types of boxes filled with candies from Sunday School at Christmastime. That was fun to know!
DeleteOh, that is so much fun to know! I'm assuming that John and his siblings grew up in Maine? I'm so tickled to know that they also got the candy from Sunday School in these cute boxes.
DeleteI love the set of cards with the snowflake design, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think they are beautiful too, Pamela. I wrote a post about them here: Snowflake Cards if you have not seen it.
DeleteSuch cute Christmas vintage items!! Those little candy boxes are really cute. I'm not ready (like you!) to think about Christmas just yet, but I sure did enjoy visiting!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your visit, Terri! I always love having you stop in.
DeleteCute candy boxes and I love the snowflake deer card
ReplyDeleteIsn't that so pretty, Lana? I had never seen anything like those snowflake cards before. There are several different designs.
Deleteyou have such treasures in your house!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucie! I am trying to sell many of them as I don't have room for everything.
