Che l'amore

Do you ever look at a couple holding hands, or a mom wiping ice cream off a child's face and think "awww, now that's love?" I've been around a lot of love lately...first, when my husband Brad, (a fabulous, fabulous photographer) and I were a part of Teresa's Bridal Show. I modeled some beautiful gowns, Brad took photos for Teresa, and it was just a fun show to be a part of, as well as a moment to remember the excitement of wedding planning and the lovey-dovey look of newlyweds :)Being around all that love and romance inspired me to create our newest special, The Valentine's Day Collection which is an awesome assortment filled with raspberry caramels, espresso-sambuca truffles, and hot cocoa and white chocolate raspberry bejeweled heart chocolates. This collection is sure to bring a smile to your loved one's face, and the pretty hearts and colors are just perfect for the holiday!
Something else that inspired some love? Well, obviously I love chocolate, and when I heard about this event, it sent shivers down my spine :)
The Durham Museum in Omaha is hosting a very new and exciting exhibit: Chocolate, The Exhibition. The exhibit is open now, till April 26. It explores the rich history of chocolate and has beautiful photos, chocolate-making tools, and even an "extra" exhibit hilighting one of Omaha's oldest candy companies.

Durham has also set up a chocolate shop at the end of the exhibit, featuring, well, tons of chocolate! If you stop by to purchase some sweets and support the museum, then look for The Chocolate Season logo, since we were lucky enough to be one of the vendors to take part in the store, and have around 10-12 different products available!!!!

And here's a little tip...if you go on the weekend, expect to satisfy your sweet tooth with samples from various vendors from around the area, from 1-4 pm. If you can wait to go, or would like to go 3-4 times (like i will!) then please stop by March 21-22, since that is when I will be there handing out samples, and would love to see some friendly faces there :)

Well, these are just a few things to help you get in the mood for looooooove, and don't forget to order before our Valentine's Day deadline, which is February 9th, if you want your order guaranteed for the big day! Please contact us if you ever have any special requests, and we look forward to seeing you at the Chocolate Exhibition, especially on March 21-22!

XOXOXO (thought this was appropriate due to the holiday!)
