Sometimes life is tough!
Happy Easter!!!Since I attended Taste the other day
I have had chocolate on my mind.
Not that it isn’t anyway,
at Easter time Florence reeks of chocolate.
The stores are filled with chocolate eggs-
bittersweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate
all with small gifts inside
and all sizes!
The Easter Bunny is busy in Italy!

in honor of the Medici’s love of oranges and her love of gardening.
Her first chocolate, was the IRIS, symbol of florence.

I first saw that first comic last year–never gets old though. LOVE it 🙂
Also, this post is sinful. Positively sinful.

Great post! I just bought a chocolate egg imported from Italy. It’s beautiful! It stands about 18 inches high and has a jewelry “prize” inside. The outside is decorated with flowers and says “auguri”. I can’t wait to break it open 🙂
…and Happy Easter, Diva!
