Halloween

Since fortune-telling was a big part of vintage Hallowe’en celebrations, Fortune Telling Cakes were popular. They were cakes of whatever type you wished, baked with little metal charms within - traditionally they migh include a horseshoe (representing success or good luck), a button (for a bachelor), a thimble (for a spinster), a ring (marriage), a heart (love/romance – not to be confused with marriage), a wishbone (hope or good luck), and an anchor (good news or travel), etc. We’re not sure what it boded if you bit into a “good luck” charm and chipped a tooth!

$18.00 This box is perfect for Halloween treats. Think of them as a prize for an apple bob, or a housewarming present, or a way to say a special thank you at a special time of year. Having a give-away or door prizes for your school or charity? Perfect. Fill them with candies or other little treats (or tricks.) And after the candy's gone, they are great to stash all around the house for all you small goods, so don't feel shy about buying a few for yourself. Candy not included. (I don't know what kind you like!) 5x7 1/2 by 1 1/2.
