The March of The Snowmen



These candy boxes -- like the dogs in the photo below -- are whimsical gifts for friends, family, co-workers. When I worked at a real job (i.e. in an office, with benefits) there was always a generous colleague who would have a stash of CANDY on her desk and delight in sharing it with those of us who liked to pilfer. Ah what little acts of mercy our colleagues show us when our sugar level is low. My favorite candy dispensing colleague was by far BB who used to bring in DARK CHOCOLATE. I nominate her for sainthood.

Do you have someone who is a treat and shares the treats? Why not give them something sweet in return?

Love the products EXCEPT the unconscious choise to sell items out of ivory. Will not support a store EVEN
as beautiful as it is that would make such a descion.

What is a "choise" and what pray tell is a "descion"? Are these acts of consciousness, or examples of illiteracy and misinformation?

Some ivory trade is legal and conscionable. Ivory attained in this manner is often used to make beautiful and long lasting handcrafted knives. See this entry about ivory in Wikipedia.

A new kind of "ivory" that has gained favor with humanitarians is corozo. Perhaps Fete might look into unique products made from corozo, also known as vegetable ivory.
