Beady Little Eyes says:Yes – chocolate and beads and coffee. They can all be so beautifully brown. Love the TOHO Matte Mauve Mocha Magatama and the lovely coin.

Kathryn R says:Forrest was right, especially in 2020. Love your chocolatey pick – reminds me of one of the things I love about the holidays: Godiva truffles with assorted fillings. I allow myself a few every holiday season. But that’s it. Gotta watch the blood sugar!
