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. 😀
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.

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

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

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
