Current obsession: Candy stripes!

12 Jul

I have realised what has been missing from my craft life all these years:  CANDY STRIPES!!!  They bring to a project a touch of childhood magic, a whiff of whimsical charm that only, well, candy stripes can deliver!  Think old school sweet shops, think traditional barber shops and milkshake bars. Mmmmmmm, delicious.  Being the neurotic shopper that I am, I’m holding out on buying any candystriped treats as of yet until I find the best bargain and the yummiest products out there.  Whet your appetite with these lovelies…

Another beautiful creation from Olivia Kanaley over at a field journal

Adorable yellow bags found here on Etsy.

Try making these gorgeous Martha Stewart candy striped cookie sticks for yourself!

I will definitely be buying these versions of candy striped paper bags (possibly in each colour!)

Another Etsy find, this time from fort & field.

I’m throwing a baby shower for my sister next month and am trying to think of ways to shoe-horn candy stripes into the event any way I possibly can!
