Every year, around this time, I like to dedicate a post to the recently chosen “Color of the Year” via the creative minds over at PANTONE. It’s become a tradition of sorts here at ‘Coffee & Chiffon’, dating back to shortly after I’d first launched this blog in January of 2020 and talked about incorporating […]
It’s hard to believe this will be the last “Favorite Things” compilation of 2024 and that both Christmas and New Years are just a few short days away! Now that I’ve recovered from my recent bout with the flu and am back to my usual schedule, the next few days are going to be spent […]
I am in full-blown “Last Minute Gift Shopping Mode” right now – picking up and wrapping those final items that give the gifts I’ve already painstakingly selected earlier this year that little something extra when I finally hand them to their respective recipients.

At the time of this post being published, I’ll be just starting off on a very long drive (via the scenic route and with plenty of stops!) to Maryland for an extended weekend spent with friends/family and catching the Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City. I’m so excited to reunite with Andrew and the kids […]
