Delighted today to share an image inspired by one of my most favorite classic stories ~
those of Laura Ingalls Wilder
"Stores for her would always mean candy - not the brown or golden stuff of patty pans and sugaring-off time, but exotic flavors like horehound; exotic shapes like canes and ribbons; and all colors of the rainbow in stripes and flowers." ~ from The Little House Cookbook (written by Barbara M. Walker)
thank you kelly and joy!! kelly, thanks for the suggestion. =0) I'm told horehound candies taste like a mix between root beer barrels and black licorice. joy ~ so sweet. i just treasured the Little House stories...! i wanted to live then and there.
I knew the charm in your drawings would work perfectly with the charm of the Little House books! - I like penny candies - but "horehound"???
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice of stories, Priscilla and a sweet illustration!
