Gorgeous. Love the tools and sprockets. I thought they were pastries until I enlarged.

Are you saying the “tools” were really chocolates???? OMG..I thought they were rusty old tools. Amazing.

Yes, a chocolatier was making them in one of the stalls. It is incredible.

Damn, I want one of those wrenches and a few of the gears!!!! Such a clever idea. I never would have guessed but did wonder why they didn’t clean the rust and dust off those tools before selling them!

I first saw chocolates like this in Germany, but it was nice to see a chocolatier closer to home. I got her card in case we ever need an item made from chocolate in the future. Might be one near you? I believe they call themselves chocolatiers. 😀

It was our dry run, next weekend we have an appointment to see Santa. He’s like the holiday doctor here now. 😉

Maybe you should see him in March next year, to avoid the stampede?

Was that the Christmas market downtown? I’ve missed the tree lighting every year

I think there’s a couple of markets this year, a trend that is growing. This one was near downtown; a few blocks off. There is also one at DuPont Circle (artsy) and a third somewhere as well. We just walked around a bit, but it reminded us of Christmas overseas.

I haven’t been to EAstern Market in ages. Need to put that in my DC list for next year
