Progress

Well, I had my first "show" this past week-end, and although it was not a well attended show, there were people that came by along with the vendors. I gave out samples of my wonderful truffles, pieces of my almond bark toffee and the chilli truffle for people who liked "heat" with their chocolate.

After a while, it was fun to just watch the reaction of people who thought they were going to taste some ordinary chocolate. Their faces changed, they smiled and then their expressions lit up as they realized they were tasting something quite wonderful. The comments - anything from "wow" to "you MADE these" was wondeful to hear.

I knew my truffles were delicious, and so unique. But hearing it from so many people was such a giddy feeling. I almost felt like Sally Fields - "you like 'them', you REALLY like them!" I sold quite a few chocolates including a variety of truffles, individual chilli truffles, almond bark and sourdouogh pretzels dipped in caramel and then, milk chocolate - YUM!!!

Now I will focus on my next show - in Prescott, Ajugust 14, and 15 - at the Mountain Fine Arts and Crafts Show. Hopefully, I will do well with this show also.

I am also going to check out some of the Farmer's Markets up north where it is cooler so I can keep protecting my marvelous chocolates!
