@Chelleo I finally remembered to post a closeup of the card that explains how each candy is significant. Here‘s part 1. #bhm #blitsyhistorymonth #blitsyswap #historiccandy @Chrissyreadit
Part 2 of my #2018NFBE haul:
@Chrissyreadit sent me the coolest stuff! This (signed!) book is a history of American candy and she included all these wonderful bags of candies from the True Treats Historic Candy shop in Harpers Ferry. They are all described in the book, too! Thank you so very much for all the thoughtfulness you put into my gifts. I love them. 😘😘

"Candy was also about fun. Already marketed to kids for over one hundred years when I came around in the late 1950s, candy tasted good, was texturally appealing, and was of my own choosing. At the candy store on my way to school, I got to select the jelly beans, Good & Plenty, and licorice whips and navigate the money to pay for them." -Susan Benjamin, Sweet as Sin
