Priscilla ~ Classic Favorite

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)

  1. I knew the charm in your drawings would work perfectly with the charm of the Little House books! - I like penny candies - but "horehound"???
