When I saw this most stunning New York Magazine photoshoot, I simply could not peel my eyes away.
Talk about eye candy!
This is what I feel like doing in my shop, just lounging in a mound of giant candy.
Check out her rock candy crown. For behind the scenes look at the shoot and inspiration there is a video filled with even more candy magic! Check out the full article here, it was so had to choose just a few images.
Have a sweet day,

It’s not like you really need an excuse to throw a party but I figured opening a candy shop is a good one. I opened the doors to the Sweet Lydia’s retail store front on November 19th and it has been an awesome ride so far. I had no idea what to expect as far as foot traffic, sales or how all my products would be received by Downtown Lowell. I was blown away by the all the first-time-turned-regular customers, the enthusiasm of long time customers. It has been a pleasure meeting regular online, Brew’d and Lowell farmers Market customers for the first time as well as all the fabulous bakers from Kickstarter who have come in to pick up their rewards. So many of those amazing customers asked me that first week when I was having my Grand Opening. There was no way I could have organized an event while trying to get my retail legs under me and survive the crazy holiday rush at the same time.
Here are some pictures of the previous two s’more parties I’ve hosted just to get your salivary glands going.
This party was hosted at Brew’d Awakening to celebrate my 1st year in business.
This second bash was held at The Back Page to showcase new offering and business partnership with Akins Events.
I still have a ton of planning and making to do (and a bit of cleaning and organizing) before I am ready for the big party on Wednesday night. I’m sure it will all get done somehow. There are still a lot of kinks I am working out in the shop and I am sure more will come up along the way. I’ll be sampling lots of my new goodies at the party so make sure you stop by Wednesday night from 6:30-9:00pm at 160 Merrimack St in Lowell. I’ll be sure to post some pictures after the event for those of you who can’t make it.
Thanks for all of your help and support getting me to where I am today!

When in need of inspiration, Aussie Amy Moss’s stylish blog
eatdrinkchic.com is one of the first places I look. The combination of
whimsy and elegant simplicity in her work makes each piece fun, and
her DIY ideas are unbeatable. And I can definitely relate to her
desire to make life less vanilla — mango-blood-orange-white-chocolate-spice candy bar, anyone?
The best thing about getting inspiration from Amy is that her blog has
tons of free, printable paper products like these here dessert-themed
2013 calendars. There is no way January won’t be sweet if you’ve got
this purple popsicle on your wall. She’s got cupcakes and gingerbread
men, donuts and sprinkles galore.
My only complaint? Hey Amy, where’s the S’more?!?
Help me help Amy combat brownie boredom, one S’more at a time!
Kevin Champeny is the genius behind this chandelier made from over 5,000 acrylic gummy bears by Jellio. Could you imagine the fun if this was a spinning disco ball that could project brightly colored gummy light onto your walls? They are a little out of my price range but a girl can dream.
Thanks for your help combating brownie boredom, on S’more at a time!

The chocolate geniuses at The Rihga Royal Hotel in Japan created a series of chocolates to resemble 8 major meteorites that have been discovered around the world. I don’t read Japanese so don’t know what flavors are at the core of these edible meteors, but I can only imagine how delicious they are.
For anyone who understands Japanese here is the link. Found here.

Combating cupcake boredom, one S’more at a time!
Not only is the name “S’Monster” one of the best s’more-related things I’ve ever heard, these S’Monster boxes are just about killing me. I found these amazingly creative s’more packaging over here (simply the best place to fawn over pretty packaging) and I am strongly thinking about contacting the designer to see if we could work together.
I am having serious “why didn’t I think of that” jealousy.
And there are stories about the S’Monster on the inside of the packaging! I’m not sure if this could get any better.
A serious thanks for your help combating brownie boredom, one S’more at a time!

Designer Elsa Lambinet worked with Swiss chocolatiers to create a new kind of chocolate that can be filled and topped according to tastes. The result is both stunning and delicious.
Love this little video of all the chocolates dancing around.

Combating cupcake boredom, one S’more at a time!
These planetary chocolates were created Rihga Royal Hotel in Japan. This spectacular chocolaty solar system includes Mercury (coconut mango), Venus (cream lemon), Earth (cacao), Mars (orange praline), Jupiter (vanilla), Saturn (rum raisin), Uranus (milk tea) and Neptune (capuccino). I wonder if they ship to the US so I can have the whole world in my mouth.
Found out about these from here, via here.
