...and it's freakin' gorgeous.
Robert Florio master designer of all things beautiful and of "Community Garden" and other assorted topiaries, with the help of Joe Markusic, Team Recovery master mind fiberglass maker and problem fixer, created another piece of unique Springfield art.
Congratulations to them and to you... Sweet Pete's ...for your good taste.
Hiring local artisans to create unique items benefits the neighborhood in so many ways. Thanks Sweet Pete's.
When this picture was taken, the giant lilies that were in the red pots were missing. Are they coming back? They are terrific too.
Gorgeous, I love it!
This is the kind of signange I would like to see along Main St (3rd and main signage is terrible)! better hope Bill Brinton doesnt see it, he would consider against the sign ordinance!
FSU, my thoughts also when this thread appeared. :-X
I agree, Fsujax, but I believe this one was properly permitted and it is completely within the property and not overhanging the easements. I believe that to be to issue with doing something like this on Main Street.
I bet they'd do keen SOS hearts too! Unfortunately, we need so many in order to save Springfield they couldn't keep up with the demand. Perhaps a total of 4 around the perimeter on the main roads leading into the historic district proper.

Good point! Perhaps that can happen
Someone stole some hearts which were fixed by tie wire on the chain link fence for the properties on Pearl.
See...collector's items!! ;D
work doesn't get much sweeter than this...

Joe is constructing giant candy canes for our favorite candy shop.
I'll say it again:

This is great. Thanks for sharing.
It's hard to imagine more festive or pleasing, or really neighborhood-enhancing, advertising than enormous pieces of candy.
From an Epoxy guy to Robert F and Joe M....nice sign guys! I wish I had Gallons of resin to play with...
I Like the "Sweet" gently crushing the "Pete's"...so the apostrophe and "s" is bent down.

A candy shop in Springfield on Pearl between 8th & 9th. Proprietors are Peter (of Peterbrooke's) and his wife Allison. They take an organic approach to sweets. Chocolates, caramels, cotton candy, hot cocoa, ice cream, hard candies and more. You really should check them out.
They have event space as well, and plenty of off street parking!!!!!

Dark Chocolate dipped Cranberries sound good,There are other dried fruits out there like Blueberry and Apricot that would be good to dip.
I wonder if they would do Dark Chocolate Sour Cherries when they are in season.
How SEXY is a Dark Chocolate Dipped Sour Cherry? You know, even Kiwi slices would be good dipped into Dark chocolate...
MMMM!!
Guilty of having fondue fantasies here....
hahahaha!! so much for this being a "family oriented" establishment. :)
Hot chocolate! It's not just for children any more!
