Purchases of the Non-Candy Necklace, made of wood, help feed hungry people in the area.

MOCK CANDY NECKLACE A SWEET DEAL FOR CHARITY

Looking for candy that won't pack on the pounds? Try the nostalgia-inspired Non-Candy Necklace. The 8-inch pastel necklace (which also comes in UT colors) has no calories or carbohydrates: It's made from wooden beads strung on elastic. It's a major throwback to the candy necklaces from the past. The necklaces, which also can be used as a bracelet or hair accessory, were created by Austinite Barbara Fellman, and $1 from the sale of each necklace ($5.99) will be donatad to the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. Available at www.inedibleart.com  (free shipping) and BookPeople.
