Playing with Pine and Snowy Strolls…

I’ve had such a beautiful, snowy and festive weekend these past couple of days, spent in the company of my mother and then with some of my friends in-between getting some more holiday shopping done and preparing to send out my Christmas cards a little later on this week now that they’ve been carefully designed […]

Welcome Great Pumpkin…

It comes as no surprise that I love any and all things Fall and Halloween, and that I am truly living my best life this time of year. I’ve been a full-blown Autumnal girly since I was a little kid, and I don’t think I’m showing any signs of slowing down with my obsessions and […]

Look At The Flowers…

I’ve been sharing all things flowers and floral in recent posts here on ‘Coffee & Chiffon.’ From my weekend trip to Newport, to evening walks in Historic Deerfield– and I had mentioned sharing some of my favorite local places to stroll and snap photos amongst the blossoms at some point within the next couple of […]
