vintage postcards
These little violet bonbons will transport your taste buds to the South of France. The whole flower is delicately crystallized in sugar. Sample and savour the sunlight of the Provence.. STOP! I'm starting to sound like a commercial! They are good though.:)

When i was little girl, my grandpa

They are too pretty to eat! They remind me of the pretty pink roses on the current issue of Romantic Home. They are also edible and very pretty as well. Happy Spring Friend! Katie
