I love chocolate covered strawberries. Â To look at. Â I like the notion of them, in that they’re beautiful on a plate, and that they seem decadent and special. Â However, to eat them is a bit difficult. Â They are kind of messy… you take a bite, the chocolate cracks, drops everywhere and makes a mess. Â Or […]
A cute and rustic branch photo holder.
