I adore Shelburne Falls. It’s a place I’ve written about frequently here on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ since it’s only about 20 minutes away from my apartment and it’s a picturesque little village with a lot to do and see – even with it’s main attraction, the famed Bridge of Flowers, currently undergoing some long overdue […]
