Sweets for my Sweet

'Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey, your first sweet kiss thrilled me so.' - CJ Lewis, Sweets for my Sweet. Originally by the Searchers and a 1980s dance mix here (very cute).

Blogging has been easy this week. First there was that meme, then Ms Adventures in Italy decided to write about sweets in Italy and offer an amazing giveaway on her blog.

Of course, I probably shouldn't tell you because then I have less chance of winning because you're all going to go and enter aren't you? Oh well, too late.

Go see. The ones I think are the most interesting are the honey candies and the Rossana. Yum, I hope I win.

Sweets of my childhood? Similar to British ones I would imagine. There's loads of nostalgic sweet shops out there now. Just google 'Old Fashioned Sweets'.

My favourite is Hope & Greenwoods in the UK. Look at their Valentine's selection.

Gilded cherry nipple dainty anyone?
