I received a package from a dear friend last week, and I'll bet you can't guess what it was?
Let me give you a little hint...it involved the words Candy and Corn!
These are my own (yes, my very own!) pair of Glinda socks in Candy Corn Madelinetosh. For this day and for many more to come, I have become a giddy schoolgirl, dancing here and there and all about with my special Glinda socks. I have wanted a pair of these since the first Glinda kit came out well over a year ago, and now they are on my feet, in such a special colorway! This was our Halloween colorway last year - a tribute to one of my favorite Halloween candies - Candy Corn!
My good friend Kristine sent these to me as a special present - "just because". I couldn't help but cry when I saw them - they were just so perfect...
In fact, I may never take them off...
Ever...
Candy corn, my sweet, you've gotten a bad rap.
People say you're too sugary,
Too sickening,
Liable to make everyone fat.
But they don't know what I know,
oh candy o' mine.
They don't know how tasty you are,
how delicious,
how you make me shine.
Hope you have a sweet and wonderful Tuesday!
Oh how lucky you are! A pair of hand-knit socks! What a generous and unexpected gift. The best kind.

He who in adversity would have succor, let him be generous while he rests secure. Do you think so?
