“An ocean of violets in bloom…”

Out of all the museums in Boston that I adore, The Museum of Fine Arts is by far one of my favorites. It’s a place I can get lost in for hours as I wander from floor to floor, room to room, and I’m always stumbling upon something new or unique that I’d never seen […]

Local Loves: Saltie Girl

Although the unofficial start to the Summer season doesn’t begin until Memorial Day Weekend (for me, anyway!)

High Tea and The Titanic…

This coming weekend marks my last here at home before I set off to Italy on a red-eye flight next Tuesday night, and to say I’ll be spending the next 48 hours checking my packing list and itinerary no less than three hundred times, packing, unpacking, and re-packing again, and having panic attacks when I […]

Drive-Ins and Saint Danny’s Day…

I love to celebrate my friends at any and every opportunity that presents itself. Finding the perfect presents to give, attending parties that commemorate milestones, participating in events/things that they love and that interest them, etc. It’s one of the best things ever and something I look forward to with every holiday, birthday, get-together, or […]
