I was so happy to see this little article in the Jackson Portico this month. It is featuring Beth Ann Ross' candy shop on the Canton square: Madeline's. It is a fave spot for the fam when we go to Canton. All sorts of retro candy and fun little gift items. Beth Ann has quirky and fun assortment of things. And ice cream! Here are a few pics from a visit there last year. And she's delightful (straying from my usual "sweet"). And I don't know her, but you get that just from being in her store. When I was there last, she had set aside this special stash behind the counter of gold foiled wrapped chocolates for a VIP doting grandmother. Beth Ann explained that these chocolates were hard to get in and this woman liked to always have some in her purse for her grandkids. Love small town stuff like this.
