    A family group overnight jaunt to Nevada City yielded lots of time to stroll around Sunday evening…read moreand Monday until mid-day. By the time we arrived Sunday, shops were starting to close up. Glad that The Truffle Shop was open on Monday when I stopped in looking for some shade an a cooler spot to be for a bit. The collection of hand-crafted truffles was not only beautiful and wildly unique with its flavor profiles, but complimented by the artistic space of the petite shop. It was all a visual delight, before even getting to choosing the chocolates. As it was a warm day, I didn't order as many as I might have otherwise as I was sure that the truffle treats would melt before we could enjoy them properly - savoring each tasty bite. I did get a dark chocolate/cherry one for me, and Matcha tea flavor for Dear Hubby, who wasn't with me at the time. I had a nice chat with the gentleman running the shop. He may have been the owner, coming from the back with a tray of more truffles to fill out the display cases. Thankfully on a warm afternoon, they had chilled bottled water for sale, too. After making my purchase and taking a few photos of the whimsical interior, I sat and enjoyed my truffle at the little bistro table in the outside hallway. It was a perfect little respite before more strolling on Broad Street again.

    While walking the street I saw this small section of shops and found this small store. They have a…read morelot of little truffles and even had a few gluten free items which is always nice.

The shop owner was very friendly and helpful. Our cousin bought a chocolate drink and a chocolate bar. *Xocolatada House Cacao: Guatemalan ceremonial cacao, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, raw cacao powder, coconut sugar, mesquite pod powder, house-made cashew milk (4/5). We got to sip some of his ice cold drink! It was cool, rich, creamy, chocolate-y yumminess with a somewhat "gritty texture". Enjoyable anytime! *Definite 70% Öko-Caribe (V): This two-ingredient chocolate bar is made with cacao from Öko-Caribe, located in Pimentel in the Duarte province, the largest cacao growing region in the country. The tasting notes of this chocolate are citrus fruits, dried fruits and nuts. Support your local business.

Looking forward to going back this summer and trying a few more things... I think I'll call this my "year of chocolate".

You can immediately tell that she isn't just a florist. She's a farmer with a deep love of plants. My husband and I have a backyard that's overflowing with flowers and vegetables, so we share that same joy when it comes to talking about plants. It felt like we were speaking the same language from the very beginning. For our floral vision, I wanted our ceremony to feel like our guests had stumbled into a whimsical wildflower paradise. I wanted it to feel abundant, natural, and full of interesting textures. Even though I didn't always have the florist vocabulary to describe exactly what I was thinking, Deena immediately understood the vision and created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I also asked her to create a floral lapel for my husband after stumbling across one on Pinterest. She told me she hadn't made one before, but instead of hesitating, she got genuinely excited about the challenge. The final piece was absolutely stunning. It was wild, textural, abundant, and unlike anything I'd ever seen. Working with Deena was such a joy because she brought that same excitement and enthusiasm to every interaction. You could tell how much she cared, and her work speaks for itself. One of our guests messaged me after the wedding, "11/10 flowers. No notes." Honestly, I couldn't say it any better myself. Thank you, Deena. It was such a pleasure working with you.

We bought buckets of blue and white flowers with various green fillers. The drive to the farm was picturesque and part of memorable experience. Deena had everything waiting for us when we arrived. The flowers were so fresh. Not one of the centerpieces we created wilted in a four-day wedding trip. The centerpieces were the highlight of the wedding and we'll never forget the experience. I even recently purchased seeds for two of our favorite flower varieties. Hoping to grow them in the yard. Thank you, Deena, for your help and service!
