As we sit with steaming mugs of tea and the occasional chocolate based snack, musing on the oddities of life, we often wonder where in the world all the little Jack and Meg dolls got to. So now we've decided to find out, and get to know all the lovely Candy Caners out there who have given a home to an idea created at the kitchen table of Tracy's mum.
All you have to do is drop us a line at info@sugarbutty.co.uk (or our Facebook and MySpace pages if you prefer), tell us who and where you are, and maybe add your own little message. We'll then add you as a marker on our map: hopefully bringing nations together and promoting world peace via the medium of Rock 'n' Roll Merchandise!

| Laurie | Juneau, Alaska, US | My nesting dolls hang out in my curio cabinet and play with the mini tea set I have in there, each night when I'm asleep. The crumpet crumbs and the tiny, wet tea bags give them away. But mostly, they are well behaved. Although, I did catch them coming in early one morning, having snuck out for karaoke. I've learned to lock the cabinet. :) |

My son Alexander and I are big fans of the White Stripes and as a hobby besides going to their shows, we collect items associated with them.The dolls are the favorite in our collection of white Stripes memorabilia, and definitely the most original.Although we keep all the dolls together in the largest one for display, occasionally we take the others out, much to the delight of my 3 yr old!...we appreciate your creativity.... |

| Daniel | Port Tobacco, MARYLAND USA | I too love my Jack and Meg nesting dolls. Unfortunately they are still in the box as I am waiting till I have the proper display case for all my White Stripes and Raconteurs memorabilia. I love collecting things but these bands are by far my favorite. They always to come out with new, fresh, and original stuff. But I am getting anxious for some new White Stripes stuff!!! |

| Valerie and Fiona Pestana | San Jose, California | My daughter, Fiona, is the proud owner of a Meg nesting doll. You asked where the dolls and their owners live, and we are located in San Jose, California. I bought the Meg nesting doll in early 2008 as a Valentine's Day gift for my then 8 year old daughter. Fiona is a big fan of The White Stripes (so is Mom!) and she would like to play drums like Meg. [An admirable ambition!] |
| Claire | North Wales | I am a proud owner of a pair of Jack and Meg nesting dolls and also a very proud big sister of one of their creators. I thought and still think the girls are both crazy but their imagination knows no bounds!! The De Stijl dolls are my favs, they look so chubby!! Thanks again Sarah, you are a star!! xx |
| Ara | Bethesda, MD (US) | Howdy! My name is Ara and I'm writing to tell you about my Jack and Meg nesting dolls. Jack & Meg stand side by side in front of their respective album covers on a shelf of their very own. The kids call it "Mom's Shrine" but I know they are just jealous. Thank you for becoming part of our story. |
| Janey | Sunny Cardiff, Wales | Jack and Meg sit behatted on my fireplace bringing a smile to my face every time I look at them. The real Jack and Meg are welcome to visit any time they like. |
| Diane | Edinburgh, Scotland | I love my set which sit proudly on my black and red fireplace in my black and red kitchen. When I first arranged them it took me a few days to realise something was wrong..... then rearranged them so that Meg was on the left like she always is on stage. Sad, I know. |
| Marla | Albuquerque, NM | I bought these dolls on EBay Feb. 1, 2011 and then received the heartbreaking news of the White Stripes break-up the following day! Receiving them in the mail was bittersweet. They are a permanent fixture next to my turntable! |
| Harry | Long Island, New York | I have these amazing nesting dolls on display next to my turntable and always get asked to show people all the little ones inside :). |
