I received my Out Of The Box Sampler last Saturday. WOW!! I LOVE it. As soon as I opened it I was excited about the awesome smell, that unique smell of homemade and handcrafted goodies. It totally reminded my of when I was younger (probably 15 years ago), my mom and Aunt (my dads brothers wife) and her daughter (my BFF growing up) and I would load up and head off to the local Trade Days. My mom (during the rest of the month when we weren't at the Trade Days Weekend) would visit garage sales and estate sales and pick up old vintage and antique stuff and re-sell it. My Aunt sold her handmade wooden signs with hand painted quotes and pictures on them, and other hand painted items. My cousin and I would get to walk around the grounds and look at all the goodies for sale
in other stalls. The different vendors had such an amazing array of stuff! I always loved the different candle vendors and getting to smell all the homemade scents. Around the same time my Aunt, cousin, and I were also making (and unsuccessfully selling) candles, soaps, and other bath goodies. This box TOTALLY reminded me of those days! It put a huge smile on my face, giving me a great nostalgic feeling!
Speaking of going to the Trade Days, that reminds me of Funnel Cakes. Ah, Funnel Cakes, I still can't eat one to this day. I single-handedly ate 3 whole funnel cakes in a day up there. That's all I wanted
to eat, and boy, did I regret it! Seriously, I haven't eaten one since that day. It still makes me feel kinda queesy just thinking about it. :/
