A confectionery store (more commonly referred to as a sweet shop in the United Kingdom, a candy store in North America, or a lolly shop[1] in Australia) sells confectionery and is usually targeted to children. Most confectionery stores are filled with an assortment of sweets far larger than a grocer or convenience store could accommodate. They often offer a selection of old-fashioned treats and sweets from different countries. Very often unchanged in layout since their inception, confectioneries are known for their warming and nostalgic feel.(Wikipedia)

And a fine entry it is John. When I was a child, eons ago, I remember penny candy stores back in the U.S. where one could buy unique candies, now difficult to find. My favorite were these little sugar colored dots stuck to a piece of paper. Your image certainly stirs up memories and fits the nostalgia theme perfectly. Best wishes for the contest.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Although my parents didn't agree with it, from time to time my grandmother gave me some money (most of the time a dime or a quarter of a Dutch guilder) to spend in a Candy store. 'Sweet' (both literally and figuratively, lol) memories John.
You've visualized these nostalgic thoughts in a very proper way. Therefore it's an excellent entry for the contest to me. Good Luck my good friend!

Regards, Cornelius.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.
