Pizzas, Cannoli and Barbenheimer…

Although I’m scheduled to appear for Jury Duty tomorrow morning, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll be cancelled so that I can sleep in a little later than usual because I am completely and utterly wiped. This past weekend has been filled with great food, great movie-going experiences, and some much-needed sunshine! But it […]

A New England Summer Giveaway!

I’ve been talking about doing this since I reached 500 posts here at ‘Coffee & Chiffon’ last month, and because it’s been a minute or two since I’ve had any type of giveaway/contest (I love being able to host them!)– but with work, travel, and Summertime plans being essentially non-stop over these last few weeks- […]
