Ambiance is enhanced by the sea breezes drifting through the palm trees and through the Emporium windows while a pot of chocolate candy is cooking on the white stove. We sat in the comfortable chair and sampled most all the candy while visiting with Cynthia and Bernadette over coffee. Long time friend Patricia Hume, and also Cindy's mother, both assist by shaping, cutting, storing and selling the candy. All of the candy is refrigerated since no preservatives are used. My favorite is chocolate almond butter crunch.
Prices are reasonable, too.
Patricia Danahy just called to correct us about spelling of her last name which is now correctly spelled here. Purpose of Pat's call was to correct us regarding Our Lady of La Leche Statue details in the article of last week, May 1. And that leads to the second sweet story for Mother's Day. Turns out that Pat's father, X.L. Pellicer did not go to Spain or even import a statue from Spain. Instead he had the statue of Our Lady of La Leche carved by Roy Duer of Jacksonville.
