When she died I asked for the dish. On holidays I fill it and wait for my kids to come in and exclaim "great grandmother's candy dish!" as they lift the lid and help themselves to a handful of candy.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-51278876755012405332012-04-07T12:00:54.074-04:002012-04-07T12:00:54.074-04:00We had a set of Melmac back in the 50s!
