The Sweet Factory

I have been trying for a week + now to come up with my favorite store so I could enter a submission for the design challenge over at These are a Few of My Favorite Things. As the deadline is fast approaching (the 13th) I was starting to freak out! I could of course think of places like Archivers for all my favorite scrapbooking supplies, and the thrift store for tons of vintagy goods you would find elsewhere, or Whole Foods for all of my favorite oh-so-good-for-you snacks... and then I thought of the Sweet Factory.

The. Sweet. Factory. - doesn't it just sound like heaven already? I never went to the mall specifically for TSF but I sure as heck never missed visiting while I was there. And they were always so conveniently placed next to the theatre so that you would think "well one bag of candy in the theatre for $5 or 3 from TSF for $5" - it never failed you left with more like $30 though... All the flavors and colors and textures, old AND new! It was enough to drive ANYONE wild!

SO that's what I ended up doing this page about:


(EDIT: I forgot to add my tootsie roll flower!!)



The sketch is from Sketchy Thursdays @ the August Guest Design Team Member Challenge - let me know what you think.. if I need to try again or this one is good enough to enter =)


here are the details by the way:

My favorite candies the store offers:
I made my own ribbon out of the colored tootsie roll wrappers as well as a scalloped flower:
