Chocolate & Finer Belgian Things... And Bobo's Bakelite Bangles in a Treasury

I adore Bakelite, I've been collecting it forever. A unique find, it will never be made again... after all it was toxic to make. But as my mother always said, you have to suffer to be beautiful (old Polish saying) and thank goodness for those who made all the wonderful world of Bakelite for collectors to treasure around the world.

Did you know that Bakelite was invented by a Belgian? I'm not surprised since so many fabulous things come from Belgium: chocolate, fabulous interior design, fabulous fashion, diamond shops, glorious cuisine, lovely smiley Belgian people who have to vote by law... Ah the list goes on and on. Go visit Belgium! Many of the sweetest things in life are in lovely Belgium. My first suggestion would be the Amazing Antwerp. Divine! While you are there be sure to try the Manon at Leonidas. You will die and go to heaven!
