You could spend the night in a candy/chocolate shoppe right in the heart of Highland! Too…read moredelicious to be true?? Nope! When visiting Highland and Aviston, Illinois we passed by The Chocolate Affairs shop while leaving the 9th Street Cafe. We couldn't help ourselves from noticing the young owner Jen busy wheeling away carts of fresh chocolate-covered strawberries to the town's Art Festival. We went inside and were surrounding by tons of little knick-knacks, crafts, souvenirs, and of course, sweets! One of the four rooms is dedicated specifically as the "Candy Room." Caramel pecan patties, real butter creams, hand dipped caramels and chocolate potato chips, to name a few! I enjoyed the chocolate covered toffee with peanuts. Mmm mmm! They also rent out chocolate fountains for your next event. As for the bed and breakfast...It's a historic house built in 1914 by Dr. Tibbetts. The house accommodates guests with 3 bedrooms, each having its own private baths and theme (Angel, Quilt and Blue Rooms). Guests also have full use of a parlor, dining room, kitchen and deck. The best part is you can enjoy chocolate chip cookies and refreshments on arrival, chocolate gift baskets in the bedrooms and a sample from the chocolate case overnight! Continental Breakfast is the Chocolate Lovers Special featuring Triple Chocolate Mess Cake and Chocolate Covered Strawberries. What more could a chocolate lover dream of?!?! I can't wait to spend the night here during my next visit!

What an awesome experience! Me and my wife drove from Swansea IL to here for our very first real…read moreChristmas tree and what a amazing place. We were greeted immediately when we got out of our truck. I assume the man working was the owner and he was very knowledgeable and informed us about the farm and what they had, he showed us the pre cut trees when we asked about them but we decided to cut our own. He gave us the run down on where to go to cut down the tree and gave us a saw. We spent nearly and hour finding the perfect tree, they have a lot of trees and the are all awesome so we had a hard time choosing. When we got the tree we wanted we cut it down and took it to the barn, they have a wagon to pick you and the tree up but we were close enough we decided to carry it ourselves even though the owner told us we shouldn't have had to do it. Our tree was shook and tied up and loaded into our truck for free. The prices are amazing compared to the other places and each tree had its own price tag. It was a really nice trip and we plan on coming back next year for sure

Great flowers designed for my Mothers Funeral. Jody consulted with our group to select just the…read moreright flowers to honor our Mother. I also found a home decorative item to complement our home while we were there and my sister selected a beautiful knit poncho and scarf. My only constructive feedback was the owner said St. Elmo was out of their standard delivery area which I found unusual considering it's only 13 miles away in aa rural part of the state. Something I think should be reconsidered. Ultimately the experience was very good.

Bundle up to support Urban Matter this week, and be sure to give yourself plenty of time to browse. There's a lot to shop!
