Happy Day, Happy Weekend Mom

Lots of cards and gifts will be given
on Sunday for Mother's Day. Some
purchased from the very best stores,
some made with the help of a teacher
and a stick of glue. No matter which
yours will be, as long as it carries
a sweet heart it will be as good as
gold - no, as good as CHOCOLATE!
Mom will love it!

Happy Earth Day

Earth Day 2009 is here! Can you believe it falls so soon after National Chocolate Covered Cashew Day?

I love this photo and these kinds of beautiful earth shots in general. We are really just wee little chocolate molecules or atoms, whichever is smaller, running around in our own little tiny rivets. It puts things into perspective and kinda makes the little stuff and fluff melt away, as it should.

But Father Earth and Mother Nature? Definitely not little stuff nor fluff. Find it in your heart to do something sweet for both today. : )

Wouldn't You Know It!

Wouldn't you know it! We've let "National Chocolate Covered Cashew Day"sneak up on us again! And we promised Uncle Clanny and Aunt Estherlene we would celebrate this year by sending them a box of their favorites: these Cashew Galores.
I hope I don't lose sleep tonight over this one!

April Showers

April showers bring May flowers! And we all love flowers, right? Flower cookies, colorful chocolate flowers, chocolates with citrus floral flavors and chocolate covered Oreos with nice pretty flowers on top! We are even so very kind, we will take chocolate off your hands if it merely has a floral design, or a floral motif on, say, a new Spring Collection! Yes, we're just good in that way, we are. We'll do a lot. For chocolate.

Oh Well

Nothing left from the party but the clean-up. Or in my case, a frig full of ham. Where's all the excess chocolate?

Turkey leftovers at Thanksgiving are skimpy compared to my french horn of ham, and although there are lots of ham sams (sandwiches) and ham and eggs, and various assorted ham pairings, I sincerely hope desire outlasts supply. Of course there's always the neighbors. They're the kind of eaters that will come and help polish things off even if they are bordering on toxic.

Eggs, green grass, baby bunnies and chicks, all signs of brand spanking new and vibrant life. All represent the life that we will celebrate on Sunday, and the life we strive to represent daily. So have the very Happiest Easter, and by all means, don't forget the chocolate! Everything can't be hard-boiled!

Eggs

It just seems that Easter has such
bee-utiful chocolates!
Why, an Easter
Chocolate of the Month
could come once a day,
don't you agree?
These pretty photos leave
me saying,
"So many chocolate eggs, so little time!"

Chocolate Hat + Pink Rose

... cozied over a blue-eyed angel's head! (Find at etsy.com). It's perfectly alright with us that this particular bit of chocolate is inedible.

Besides, we don't eat chocolate every day.
Right?

When It's Over

It's 

over.  Do you 

think everyone

in the restaurant 

would look the 

other way 

while we 

lick the 

plate?

Cool & Crisp

Every day that I can wear my fav cashmere wrap is a very good day. Why? Because in my locale, cool, crisp days are few and far between. It's such a pleasure to enjoy these items that come out of the closet lots less than many people. Top this off with some loverly, yea very loverly cookies, brownies and Dark Chocolate (yes 83%!) that arrived at my red front door and you can crown this day as absolutely divine. And you just wash the rest away, snuggle the pooch, and be warm both inside and out.

Save the Planet!

Is your day dreary and does Spring seems so very far away? Then enjoy this warm little moment of cheer, "Save the planet, it may be the only one with chocolate!

A Chocolate of the Month Club Birthday

Put a star on the calendar, your San Antonio Spurs have won, some team called the Celtics lost, and I've found the perfect birthday gift for my quite choosy sister, aka "Sis." Early on I decided this "Chocolate of the Month Club" thing is just the bomb. (And just how much better is the Chocolate of, rather than the Fruit of, or the Seed of, or the Vitamin of the Month, I ask you?) The only thing Sis would love more would be Booze of the Month, but we're definitely not traveling that road!

Anyway, I've come across a divine spot just brimming with everything loverly and brown called Chocolate.com. They refer to their Chocolate of the Month Clubs as Chocolate Subscriptions. Don't you love it? Your favorite magazines arrive each month, so does your chocolate. Just a sweet little friend waiting for you at your door, once a month, every month. All packed and in a pretty box, probably even a real ribbon. Hummm. What were we saying? Oh yes, Chocolate of the Month Club, and I come off looking good all year long.

P.S. Free shipping!
