Obsession of the week

There is so much to love about Cocoa Dolce, it’s hard to even wrap my mind around it all. The artisan chocolate shop at Bradley Fair not only creates mouthwateringly decadent little cocoa creations, it also has a selection of wine, beers, and champagne to pair with their chocolates. What’s not to love?

I recently spent an afternoon working there from my laptop, and as I devoured my champagne truffles (my absolute favorite), I began to notice layer upon layer of branding incorporated  into the decor of the shop. The colors, the furniture, even the rusty orange stripes in the ladies’ bathroom integrate seamlessly into the shop’s identity.

As if all that weren’t enough, their packaging is just to die for. I love how substantial the boxes feel, and the ribbon and wax seal add the perfect finishing touch.

Anyway, I’m hoping that if I stare at photos of the truffles long enough, I’ll overcome my urge to eat 50 of them every day. So far, it’s not working!

Happy Tuesday, all!

Thanksgiving on the farm

Is it bad that I’m JUST now getting around to posting photos from Thanksgiving this year?! It’s been busy, that’s for sure!

Mark and I spent a day at my parents’ house over Thanksgiving weekend. My brother and sister-in-law wanted a couple of photos with their adorable dog Happy, so we used the dusky evening sunlight on my parents’ farm as a backdrop.
