Those chocolate trees grow Many fruits on their limbs, And aficionados know The stuff widens, not trims. But what is the harm In the race one calls life, For dear chocolate hath charm For goodman and goodwife.
Love your sketch blog-and wonderful banner, but you have my condolences over the closing of a local chocolate shop maybe if they served coffee and had an art gallery they might have survived?
I know your pain. I have never heard of a chocolate Shop Closing. One of my favorite Art Stores Closed down. I knew they have become a chain over the years - Had no idea so many huge stores were under their umbrella. Well, living in Boston, I just never thought it would happen. I and the Store went back to the 70's when I first went to school. The teacher threw the The Pearl Paint Catalogue at me. I had no idea what Arches, or Fabriano art Papers were, much less that there was something such as Specific WaterColor paper. I hope there is another Choco Shop nearby.
It's always sad to see the closing of an independent shop. It's the passing of an era in our lives, and of the memories made there. Hope the owners will have a wonderful new world opened up to them.
Oh no, oh no, poor Jules. Well, at least you'll have these wonderful drawings to remind you .... and, they're calorie free! lol nancy
