The Snowy Side of The Street…

Although my schedule has been all over the map in recent weeks with work and company that has been staying through the remainder of the month and into the beginning of March, I did make plans with Dan this past weekend to head out to North Adams so that we could meet up and grab […]

Tiki Drinks and Tidying Up…

It’s a late-afternoon post here at ‘Coffee & Chiffon’ which can only mean one thing – your girl is busy, busy, busy! Between an uptick in my caseload at work this week, accommodating my space and schedule for Troy as his extended stay continues here in New England, and trying to stay on top of […]

Local Loves: Macmannis Florist

With Valentine’s Day approaching (and Galentines Day, too!) the countdown is on to find some cute, fun and/or sentimental gifts for my girlfriends, my mom – as is tradition! – and of course my significant other.

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 […]
