La Maison Du Chocolat Saint-Valentin

These birds have tastes I can't afford. I've told them, they must stay outside the door.

Is their favorite hangout.
Their taste is good.
There is no doubt.

They show their clout.

They flock in the door.
They always want much more.
They say I am an awful bore.

These birds will not settle for anything less
They insist upon the very best.

While I'm left at home eating Whitman's
They've flown off to their favorite store.

  4. Mmmm, chocolates! The only reason Valentine’s Day doesn’t drive me completely insane.

    Beautiful juxtapositions!

  5. Are there words? Sooooo beautiful.

    I wanted to name our first daughter Valentina. Well, after three days as "Baby A" we finally decided on another Italian name fit enough for that beautiful creature. ;-)

  7. Even though I adore their brown packaging it looks equally gorgeous in red. I adore your paintings on this post. I can't wait to see Charlotte's painting in March. She keeps saying the raspberry colour leaps out of it and I bet the red in these does the same. Clever Gal!
