Friday Favorites! A Childhood Memory

This week instead of highlighting a favorite past post,I thought I'd share another favorite for Friday.


When I was a small girl, one of my uncles would treat me to my favorite French lollipops/suckers from an upscale gourmet food and spirit shop in San Francisco.
Not only were the lollipops much more intensely flavored than those I had ever tasted before, in my short life ...They were dispensed in a most unusual way.From the most endearing porcelain sculpture which was an ever present fixture on the check out counter...Always a delightful array of full fruit flavors, or creamy caramel!Decisions. Ambrosial Decisions.So ...Can you imagine my glee when I was given a reproduction of the very Pierrot Gourmand with lollipops as a gift a while ago?!Even the refill lollipops come in a charming tin... And YES!They taste just as good as I remember them so many years ago.When I look at him, it brings back wonderful memories of a happy childhood.I hope certain things remind you of fond childhood memories, too.Have a lovely Friday everyone.
