WE CAN RESURRECT HER. 🕯️

I’m not being dramatic (I am). But there is a woman buried under her husband’s name and we have located the body — at AUCTION, no less — and we are bringing her back whether the curators like it or not. 💅

Meet Virginia da Vezzo (1601–1638): working *pittrice,* signed her own canvases, got her face engraved in 1626 with the word PITTRICE stamped around her head like a verified badge. The girl had RECEIPTS. And then she married Simon Vouet and four hundred years of art historians went “who?? the wife??” Sweetie. SHE WAS THE PLOT.

Oldest reunion-couch move in the book: be undeniable, marry the man, watch him take the confessional. And the diabolical part? No villain in the room. Just a marriage, a workshop, and an attribution system that quietly decided whose name a canvas deserved. They erased her and called it a love story. We’re calling it what it is. 🥂

So we did the unholy thing and found her on the auction block. One painting sold for FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN DOLLARS. A woman who painted alongside the Caravaggisti, priced like a Zara dress. I am SO normal about this. (Not this one… this one is 40k)

Here’s the resurrection clause: she’s not dead. She was never dead. You just stopped saying her name. So say it. 🪦➡️👑

📲 App: Invaluable
🔍 Search her under all three: Virginia Vouet / Virginia da Vezzo / Virginia Vezzi (they filed her three different ways — that’s the erasure in real time)

You didn’t know her. Now you do.

(Every order helps us furnish our DREAM so thank you!!!)

SAVE THE LAST BATCH FOR… you — a curated retrospective of boxes featuring the absolute best of our historical magical chocolate archives.

This is your last chance to hold the magic, taste the obsession, and own a piece of this sweet little era before the tempering machine becomes a historical artifact.

THE TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION:
THE SHIPPING WINDOWS: We are running exactly two elite batches.

👉 Batch One: Ships June 23rd & 24th
👉 Batch Two: Ships July 14th & 15th
THE PRICING: A single box of pure luxury is $47, or secure a double order for $87 (shipping calculated at checkout).

THE CRUEL TRUTH: Space is strictly limited. There is no restock, no hidden vault, and no extensions. This is first-come, first-served. When the spots are gone, they disappear into the shadows of the Tiber forever.

If you have been waiting for a special occasion, this is your final curtain call.

Link drops at 10am tomorrow June 4th! Make sure to claim your box before the archives are sealed. 🛒🍫

And just in case… As you know, on July 7th I fly out to take up residence inside an ancient thought in the Castelli Romani hills. The ceilings are cathedral-height, the ghosts are strictly 19th-century intellectuals, and the kitchen... well, it doesn't exist. The universe decided that after 15 years of whispering this dream into existence, I should live on wine, espresso, and pure adrenaline.

Which brings us to the tragedy: The chocolate kitchen is officially closing. But we aren't slipping away quietly. We are going out with a grand, final performance.

To everyone who made this era so impossibly sweet: thank you. Let’s make this final batch a masterpiece. 💋

06/03/2026

✈️The departure: Galileo and I leave July 7th. Dean and our feline aristocrats follow in late August. I’ve been whispering this dream into existence for 15 years, and it turns out the universe doesn’t say “no,” it just waits for you to be bold enough to say “now.”

The apartment:
We found our home. It has cathedral ceilings, a view of the vineyards, and the ghosts of every 19th-century artist who ever came to these hills to find their soul. The only thing it doesn’t have? A kitchen. 🍷🚫🍳

Apparently, the architects assumed I’d be too busy being a muse to boil an egg. I’m trading my microwave for a masterpiece, and honestly? It’s the best deal I’ve ever made. 💅

THE COUNCIL IS IN SESSION:
SHOP OUR LIFE:

We are purging the archives to fit into our new Italian life. Disney grails and vintage treasures are up for grabs. eBay links coming soon. 📦

THE FINAL BATCH: June and July are the last shipping windows for chocolates. Secure the magic! Links go up 10am Thurs June 4th. 🍫

⁉️Have you travelled with cats?!? DM me I have questions

What other questions do you have? I’ve been on the ground for 30 days and I’m ready to spill the tea (even if I have to boil the water on a portable burner). 👇

I didn’t make Easter baskets this year, and my hands honestly didn’t know what to do with themselves.

If you’re missing your A New Hope Co. chocolate basket today, please know I’m missing making them for you too.

But instead of pouring chocolate bunnies, l’ve been holed up in the studio for the last 60 days quietly building a completely different kind of magic. I can’t spoil it yet, but let’s just say this new era is almost ready for
launch.

Have the most beautiful Easter with your people my little chocolate fam!

Park Bag Staples (aka: how I survive + zhuzh a Disney day) 🎢✨ This is years of strategy… and mostly local, women owned businesses!! Cause

Here’s what’s always in my Disney bag (Japan? It was a gift):

☀️ Raw Mermaid Sunscreen
I’m sensitive to basically everything, and this is one of the few that works for me. PLUS it’s a woman-owned, local business. Protect your skin, stay dewy, live your best mermaid life. (Reef safe too!)

🕶️ Sunglasses (but make them fun)
Because Florida sun is not a suggestion. Also… are there better park sunglasses than these?? I think not. Women owned… local. Obv.

🎴 The Rhode Less Traveled Cards
Yes, I made these 👀
Because I wanted to stop missing the actual magic, the tiny Imagineering details hidden everywhere. now you can carry them too.
Comment: gimme park bag magic and I’ll send you 50% off!

💧 Mini Water Bottle (covered in stickers, obviously)
It’s that time. Hydrate or perish, babes.

🧴 Damsel Dew Hyaluronic Acid Gelée
When you sweat, your skin loses moisture (rude).
Quick rinse + this = instant glowing, not melting.
(I usually keep it in that cute little jewel tub in my bag but the bottle was too pretty)

✨ Sparkled Shell Glitter
My war paint. My personality. My emotional support shimmer. (Also lady owned also local and I ❤️ her)
Perfect for when the Florida humidity tries to humble you.

🔋 FuelRod
My MO is… needing to trade this in at least once a day.

💄 Maybelline SuperStay Ink Liquid Lipstick in “Lover”
The most incredible park lipstick. You can literally do ANYTHING to this and it will stay on.
10/10. No notes. She survives snacks, rides, humidity, emotional breakdowns… all of it. And the color is 🧑‍🍳💋

🃏 Leftover Lorcana Cards
From the last time my nieces and nephews were here… but honestly? Not mad about it.

🗺️ Kids Magic Kingdom Map
SO much cuter. SO much easier to read.

If you see me in the parks, just know I am:
hydrated, glittered, moisturized… and emotionally attached to tiny design details no one else noticed 💅✨

What’s in yours?
