Boston Called…

After the absolute whirlwind that was the extended Memorial Day Weekend just a few short days ago, it felt nice to have a more quiet and low-key couple of afternoons off where I could tidy up my apartment, restock some groceries, catch up on e-mails that had been sitting patiently in my inbox, and- most […]

What’s In My Festival Bag?

Boston Calling kicks off next weekend, and while I’ll only be attending one of the three days of the festival this year as opposed to committing to the whole weekend like I normally do (Troy is visiting, so we’ve made some other plans while he’s in town!) I’m still extremely excited to spend a day […]

A Month to Remember: April 2024

At the end of March, which was one of the most busy and nerve-racking months of my life, I had said that my goal for April was to simply rest, relax, get back into my routine and enjoy some travel- and for the most part- I was successful. Although a little more relaxation would have […]

Books, Breakfast and Blossoms…

I adore you- and I especially adored January of 2024! And, as […]

Thankfully, Green Haus Café – located […]

Snowed In Celebrations…

One of the downsides to having a January birthday, and specifically having a January birthday while living in the Northeast- is that it’s pretty much a certainty that your special day is going to be bitterly cold and/or filled with snow. I cannot recall a birthday in recent memory where I wasn’t bundled up in […]

“Staycation, all I ever wanted…”

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m back home, back at work, and back to blogging here on ‘Coffee & Chiffon’ after a lovely and refreshing long weekend in Boston where I rang in 2024 with great food, a couple of cocktails, and the comfort of satin pajamas as I watched the ball drop from my hotel […]
