I wish all our wonderful customers a happy Easter and lovely spring. This chocolatier is taking a couple days' rest after a very busy Easter season. But I will start production again this week, because our stocks are woefully low. Our next chocolate holiday is of course Mother's Day. We much look forward to May 1, the first market day at Ink Block, the new home of the South End Farmers Market. This will be the perfect place to introduce our special offerings for Mom.
Jacques, Marius and Pierre have digs worthy of their status at the top of the Critters' pecking order! Jacques will be in the green box with white ribbon; Marius in the pearl box with orange ribbon, and Pierre in the bronze box with green ribbon. Remember to order them early, it is truly a limited production!

Our total focus is on the assorted menagerie of Critters, including our addition of French Bunnies this year. See our banner above. There will be samples galore of course. Cannot wait!

Jacques ($15) is available to pre-order for Easter, and we will take a few of them to the Somerville Winter Farmers Market on March 19. Each will come in his own pretty...
Petite Love Boxes, ready for the market. Valentine's Day is probably the most intense holiday there is for the chocolatier. We have been preparing boxes, tying bows, lining up delicious samples so we will do honor to the Somerville Winter Farmers Market. See you Saturday between 9:30 AM and 2 PM at the Armory at 191 Highland Avenue. We are very excited to meet everyone there!
I just finished printing up a banner (see above) for our big Valentine Day showing on Feb. 13 at the Somerville Winter Farmers market. We will have a whole gamut of heart focused goodies, from a pretty Love Flower to the Petite Love Box with its four tiers. So please stop by, we will have lots of samples to share and beautiful gifts for your loved one.
