Whitman's Candy
Submitted by Dewey on Fri, 02/08/2008 - 2:19am.
Besides darning socks, another example of Lynn's thriftiness is her sewing box. It's an empty Whitman's Sampler candy box, probably a gift from her husband. My mother kept candy boxes given to her by my father and used them to store assorted keepsakes.
