Pictures from a Grand Opening

Could you resist this beautiful woman? Of course not.
Could you resist these chocolates? Of course not.
Ah, here is the star of the Grand Opening, or rather, I should say stars. Kim, my sweet wife, and our new display case. Ain't she grand? Without her, this opening would never have happened.
I shot a couple of quick candid shots of Kim. Here she is in the middle of laughing.
Here she is looking at all the ornaments she put up for the opening of our chocolate shop. She did a great job decorating.


We also set up the dining rooms to be part of the Life by Chocolate chocolate shop!Who else has a Victorian House, built by William Vanderbilt, com chocolate shop?

We preboxed and prebagged. The bags have bark in them, which I sell for $15/lb and the other bags, which you can't really see, have meltaways, which for the opening, I am selling for $20/lb. The other chocolates go for $40 a pound. Right now, the Tea Set truffles are at a Grand Opening low price of $12 for 9 in a very fancy box. After the opening, they go back to their normal price of $20 a set.


And here is the rest of the Chocolate Shop, I mean inn.
Isn't it lovely?
So relaxing. One customer said, "When I walk in, it is so inviting and relaxing I don't feel as if I have to buy anything." Though of course, she did. How can you resist these great chocolates?
We love our house. Can you see the great quilts on the wall? Kim did those. She is a wonderful artist.
Who is that handsome chef? What a great portrait.
And of course, I use almost exclusively Felchlin chocolates because it's the best. Expensive, comparatively but I don't care.

I want the best in chocolate and Felchlin through Swiss Chalet, their importer, delivers.
What is a Grand Opening without balloons? I bought 25 balloons.


And here she is, my lovely assistant and my charming wife. She's the driving force behind the art workshops and the inn. She worked tirelessly to make this opening happen. She is the best.
