Caribbean speak: Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays to all those who have supported me through out this year. If we look back, we will see that a lot has changed. Seasons have changed, people have left our lives, some have stayed and others have entered. Cherish the memories and continue to live in the moment. Wish you a fabulous time with your friends, family and loved ones. Stay safe and divine blessings on you all.
Thanks again for your love and support. See you all in the New Year!
Light love and blessings,
Daisy

Caribbean speak: Saint Lucian artist Joshua George of Helen's Craft...

I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting M. Joshua George and his lovely wife of Helen's Craft a few weeks ago where they showcased a collection of their beautiful crafted pieces all made out of local Saint Lucian wood like coconut and cedar. These included jewelry such as earrings and pendants, jewelry boxes, a clutch which I absolutely loved and is on my wish list, letter openers, a selection of key rings, coasters  and other gift items just to name a few items. Mr. George, a retired teacher has always had a passion for crafting and is open to creating one off items at customers' request.  Each piece is beautifully handcrafted using organic resources.

To place your orders or see a selection of what's available you can visit Helen's Craft on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Helens-Craft/1387975881451268?fref=ts

Caribbean speak: Ferrands Dairy ice cream St Lucia

In October 2014 as part of its support of creole month and the Saint Lucia celebration of Creole day which we call Jounen Kweyol, locally owned Ferrands Dairy amazed its customers by creating two new flavours Glas Dité Kakó (Cocoa tea ice cream) and Ginger Kixie ice cream in limited quantities. These were sold exclusively at their Cream and Bean location in Bois D'Orange, Gros Islet, St .Lucia. I for one tried the cocoa tea ice cream and certainly was not disappointed. It featured just the right amount of spices and cocoa just the way I love my hot cocoa tea drink.  Let's hope Ferrands adds more new flavours next year. If you have not tried it as yet, go ahead and give it a try. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with this yummy creamy  treat.

Me with my Ferrrands Dite Kako ice cream from Cream n Bean# tastes so good:-)
