And that was a long time ago. I buy a lot of grandchild candles, and don't remember seeing them. But, I have enough trouble locating a box of ordinary birthday cake candles among all the speciality numbers and decorations.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.com
