Monthly Indulgences
Here at Holl’s, we offer a special treat each month. May means the Kentucky Derby and Mint Juleps! We developed our own take on this traditional spring drink by turning it into a delicious dark chocolate truffle. Pure Kentucky bourbon is paired with rich Swiss dark chocolate infused with fresh heavy cream and a splash of crème de Menthe to create one of the most decadent truffles you will ever taste.
Mother’s Day
is May 11th Show Mom how much you love her with a box of hand-crafted, West Virginia made, chocolates from Holl’s Swiss Chocolatier. Whether she prefers the sophisticated intensity of dark chocolate or the sweet richness of Swiss milk chocolate, we have a freshly-packed assortment that is sure to please. Remember, if your Mother has a particular favorite or two we will always gladly custom box an assortment with just those selections. Choose our special Mother’s Day Box or our Signature line of boxes.

Featured Title for May
“West Virginia Farm Stories,” by Mary Cordelia Riffee Figgatt. Cordelia, was born in 1904 and began writing this personal and practical memoir in 1997. That’s the year she turned 93 and taught herself to use a computer. She spent the next seven years writing about growing up in rural Putnam County in the early 1900s. Cordelia finished the book in time for her 100th birthday party. Cordelia’s stories about how times have changed are poignant. One hundred years ago there weren’t auto emissions worries; she saw her first car in 1905. She reminds us what self-sufficiency really meant: making all your own soap, jam, baby cradles, and bed sheets. She tells about attending, and then teaching, in one-room schoolhouses. After she finished eighth grade her father, the local teacher, became ill. A good student, she was the logical choice to take his place, at $50 a month less $16 in room and board. Later she went back to college. Chapters on gardening, farm animals, and working in the kitchen come alive with funny stories, and remind us about the once inherent necessity of growing and raising your own food. Creative inventions came along that made cooking and housekeeping easier, and some simple things we take for granted—such as screen doors—were first looked at with a dubious eye. Some appreciated the elimination of flies at the table while some said screen doors just made the house hotter. Farm Stories comes with numerous photographs dating back to 1904. Pictorial reminders of those times reinforce the contrast with life then and life now.
This year
Capitol Market will be CLOSED on Memorial Day; Monday, May 26, 2008.
