Art journal week4 Sweets

Last weeks prompt for the ukstampers weekly challenge was Sweets from your childhood.
I definitely had a very sweet tooth and loved sweets.  Floral sweets or fruity sweets would have been my first choice.  Here are a few of those I remember:  Aromatics, floral gums(or was it gems?), cherry lips, refreshers, parma violets, Turkish delight, sherbet strawberries, sherbet straws – well anything with sherbet in them really, love hearts, tooty fruties, candy necklaces, Vienna fruit bon-bons, penny chews, Bazooka bubble gum (didn’t these used to have skin transfers like tattoos in them?), lucky bags, lollies, liquorice all sorts ………
I can’t remember individual prices but an old sixpence would get a lot of sweeties!

I used the back page of my first journal page for this and added a Prima notecard to the top.  Some pink vellum for the central flower with the names of a few sweets printed on it.  Prima flowers, button, sweet wrappers, a sixpence and a stamped Alice (I used to have long blonde hair when I was little).
