I don't like seeing seasonal candy out with the exception of Christmas candy....So, several years ago and last year I made these primitive candy boxes for that purpose...
The Goode Wife is a design by Pamela of Our Pioneer Homestead blog
It is one of her freebies...
The sweet cabin is a Jenny Hoffman design of Country Rustic Primitives...
The Trick or Treat is my design....
Do you hide your candy or do you display it???

I have old candy jars on my counter and that is where I keep it... I usually have something there all year round.... I try to buy candy I don't particularly care for, so I don't eat it all myself. But it's been hard to find something in that category that I don't like!!
Happy Halloween!
Hi, those boxes are so wonderful, love the tops on them all, Happy Halloween, Francine.
Are the designs stitched on fabric and then glued to the box lids. A unique idea that I like very much.
Beautiful!!!
I have candy jars all over the place ~ I'm a candy hoarder!!!
Happy Halloween!

Very nice boxes. We usually do not keep candy out in the open, as granddaughter and great-nephew will gorge on it, lol! The boxes are a festive way to keep the candy. 'Will have to try that :)
I love your wonderful boxes!!!!!!!
Happy Halloween!

Oh I love these, especially the trick or treat one!
THANK YOU Ladies!! So good to hear from each of you!! Yes, Karen I stitch them and then glue them to the box...That is just how I do it.
Have a wonderful day!!
I really like your boxes. Are they papermache? I painted one paper mache box and then waxed it with Annie Sloan dark wax. Perhaps I will find a cross stitch design to put on top of it. Definitely will put the Halloween candy in it this year following your idea. I would like to find unfinished wood boxes to paint and will have to search on the internet some time soon. Thank you for your inspiration! Karen from North Carolina
Wonderful finishes Jen. You make me want to get stitching! Hugs, Lori
