Your Joy - Love Letter by Della Stella

It's not the words

or the actions

or the things you an see.

It's your joy.

And the way

your body feels warm

next to me.

I love you.

From Della Stella:

"The reason why chocolate is such a perfect gift is because it’s tactile and heartfelt. It engages your senses; smell, touch, sight, and taste. It's also temporal. You experience it, and then it's gone. (And you're ready for more!)

Love letters are all the things Escazú chocolates are: personal, handmade, small and sensuous. But they're also something you can hold on to. Especially after a year that's torn us apart and forced us to dig deep and realize what really matters to us.

This isn’t a greeting card, and it’s not a substitute for the special words that can only come from you.

I want to help you make something really special for the one you love. Or the one you appreciate, the one you miss, the one you want to give a magical little piece of yourself to this Valentine’s Day.

I’ve helped people make gestures and send messages with chocolate for a few years, but much longer than that I’ve been a writer and artist. I have a deep commitment and love for expression.

I drew these poems from my real life. Real and hypothetical moments and people, that filled me with warmth and love. I hope they can do the same for you.

What you’re getting:

An original, personalized if you choose, lyrical love letter (see above for content), handwritten and dated on textured journal paper with golden edges. Wrapped in hand-dyed, hand-decorated mulberry paper. Tied with ribbon or string.

NOTE: these items are handmade in a separate studio space from the chocolate shop, so please allow at least one day between the time you order and the time you will pick up/ship. And all materials are kept separate."
