CHOCOLATE, MY LOVE

Last Monday, I told you that on the 28th of March I went to the "Festival Du Chocolat de Versoix" (see my post) and many of you were very curious to know what I had bought. Of course, as you can quite imagine, it was impossible for me not to come back with a some goodies...

Well, here, are a few pictures of the bounty I brought back home. Enjoy and don't drool too heavily over your keyboard!

Drool, drool, drool. We went to our favourite chocolate store at the coast on Saturday to stock up ... and they were closed ... they closed at 1:00 and we were by at 3:00. DARN! Now I have to wait until next trip down for my chocolate fix.

Marysol said...

Oh, Rosa, fortunati voi!
I have no idea why, but looking at all the variety of chocolates in your possession made me speak in tongues.

Dear Rosa, as you probably know, I'm a chocolate fiend too, and, at this very moment, I am envious. Very, very envious.

zoe said...
