This afternoon, I took a whole bunch of pictures of my 1880s-era floors to show to the producer of an upcoming segment I'm shooting for a wood refinishing company, and, per usual, my camera hog of a canine got in the way.

From Design Sponge, a run-down of Cavern Home’s new artist-edition wallpapers. Love love love - especially the first wallpaper pictured, Houndstooth.

From Concierge.com, the most over-the-top vacation options around, including a week in Paris that costs as much as a college education and the world’s most expensive bath.

Discontinued deliciousnesses, including Hostess pudding pies (which I’ve actually seen at the Fruit Loops Deli on 45th and 9th), Crystal Pepsi, and…oh, pain in my heart…McDonald’s fried apple pies.

This site is a must-see for anyone with fond memories of a discontinued or vintage confection. Black Jack Gum, Zagnut, Peanut Chews, Cup O’ Golds…they’re all there. You can search by everything from candy type to color to shape, and you can make customized gifts or purchase in bulk (perfect for wedding favors!).
My favorite nostalgic confection isn’t a candy…it’s actually a pastry, and I am totally desperate to hunt one down. When I was a little girl, I used to go to the corner store for single-serving chocolate pudding pies: not-too-sweet chocolate pudding in a glazed pastry shell (I think it may have been cream-colored), packaged in wax paper. I don’t think it was Hostess brand, because I’ve tried those since and they aren’t nearly as good…or maybe Hostess just messed with the recipe?
Anyone know what I’m talking about? Also…what’s your favorite nostalgic candy?
