I love that story!! Indeed I also know about the cookie boxes, and the disappointment as a kid when there are just threads in the box 😁 Little candy boxes, do that trick with you as well.
In the Philippines, there is this habit or should I say tradition that if you have leftover boxes of biscuits, whatever shape it is as long as sewing parts can fit it, it will be used as sewing kit.
Funny indeed, also very interesting how we life on such different sides of the world and still we have these very specific things in common😊 Beautiful!
...but we have these lovely memories of them, always!🌸
