My Mom use to make lovely tissue paper baskets, pink, yellow, red and purple; she would recycle tea boxes. She also would make Chinese lanterns, so delicate and beautiful. I wish I could remember how to make them. I can make the tea box ones, but it has been busy today, doing yard work. I may make some and show you ;-D She would fill them with all kinds of different wrapped candy. My brother n' I use to swap baskets with the neighbors. Ring the door bell or knock, show them their basket, set it on the door step and run. Kisses weren't required, but sometimes happened. My brother use to run off, wipe his face off...yuck! I had to call home and wish the woman that started this old fashion tradition in our neighborhood! Thanks Mom, for the memories; I hope your day was sweet~
