Need A Little Pick-Me-Up?

This is truly a "Oh My Stars!!" moment.  

Hotel Chocolat has dark chocolate Vintage Buttons. Yes....that is what I said!! They look so beautiful, but I doubt I could create anything with them because I wouldn't be able to control myself from eating them all up!! Check out their website.  They have created chocolates for every occasion, champagne truffles, liquid chocolat, and of course beautiful Easter tidbits of luxury to add to your Bunny basket.  They are located back East, but let's imagine walking into their heavenly shop. As you enter can you embrace the European dark chocolate aroma, surrounded by truffles, caramel-filled eggs and of course the dark chocolate vintage buttons?  A handsome European lad approaches you and says "Would  the beautiful, young woman like to stay awhile and sample our chocolates?" (Stay with me here it's only a dream). Even though we can't visit, we can order a treat express mail and in the meantime steal a couple of chocolate chips in the cupboard and dream......of the chocolates!!

Alice In Wonderland Jewelry

Down the Rabbit Hole.........

In celebration of the opening event of Disney's "Alice In Wonderland",  I wanted to share with you creations from http://paraphernalia.nu/index.php/Wonderland.   Everything is handmade by Ms. Vanda in her studio in Lisbon, City of Dreamers and Poets.  "We use vintage illustrations, printed and cut acrylic, and silver-plated chains. We strive to provide extraordinary, beautifully original pieces at affordable prices, so that you may embellish yourself with merely a pittance."  These pieces are incredible.  There are other collections in her shop that will take your breath away.  So unusual, so original.  Congratulations to Ms. Vanda and her amusing collections.  In memory and celebration of Lewis Carroll and the inspiration of his writings that we are fortunate to embrace and pass on to our children.  Enjoy!!  Lisa
