I am going to start making a giant lunch box for a mall in town. Last year I built the two sides of a school bus for them out of coreplast plastic. They were attached to an 8' x 8' section of fence. The public was asked to donate school supplies for needy families. The mall has done this for years and last year was the best response that they had for this event. This year the lunch box that I am going to make will be used to collect non-perishable food for lunch boxes. The giant yellow lunch box will measure 6' x 3' x 5', all made from coreplast plastic.
That is the update from around here and now on to the brain tour. I love candy, not so much to eat, but to look at. The shapes, the colours and the smells are so wonderful.
The "Holiday Candy Book" by Virginia Pasley was published in 1952. These delightful endpapers are the only colour in the book.

This is a sample of the black and white illustrations inside the book.



This postcard captures the iridescence of hard candies.

The last postcard is a photograph of nougat and chocolates, is your mouth watering yet, mine is.


I picked this tin two months ago on my birthday. The colours are very interesting and compared to the English tin are very elegant and understated.

This is a candy wrapper from a 1960's Israeli hard candy. Yes, I did keep it. I loved the colours and the overall design then and I still do.
