Pink Saturday

August 14, 2009 at 10:35 pm by Claudia

Happy Weekend and Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you Beverly for organizing our little party. Please stop by her blog and take some time to visit everyone and leave a comment. We all love receiving comments!

This week we are taking a little trip down memory lane…to my childhood. Those of you who have been reading my PS posts might remember that my mom called me her ‘pink bunny’ when I was a little girl. Look what I found in my dresser drawer: proof.

My overalls – I couldn’t have been more than 2 years old – I think I was even younger than that.

A little robe. Hard to believe I was ever small enough to wear this…here’s a closer view.

The palest of pinks.

Truth be told, I loved being Mom’s pink bunny! I wonder if there are any children’s books with that title? Wouldn’t it be fun to have one? Have a great weekend!

Rain, Rain Go Away

Enough, already. Rain and more rain…thunderstorms, power outages, humidity. Welcome to the Hudson Valley in August. Frankly, I’m trying to be tolerant, but failing. My poor husband, who has been here all summer enduring much more rain than usual, is beyond tired of it.

And these guys?

Bored.

Wants to go for a walk.

Sorry, little ones…too wet outside. Maybe I’ll try some sewing. My little sewing nook is lovely but its home in the hallway with no A/C limits my time there in the summer. But today is dark and rainy…so perhaps it will be cool enough to create something? Cross your fingers.

Feathered Friends Party

August 11, 2009 at 8:17 pm by Claudia

I’m joining the Feathered Friends Party today. Gina at The Shabby Chic Cottage is the lovely hostess – please stop by her blog to see who’s participating! I took a little trip around the cottage to snap pictures of all things bird-related. Let’s see….how about some real bird nests?

This little nest is one I blogged about – we found it on the backside of our Christmas wreath (I was away – my husband left it up a tad too long.) The egg is from Michael’s.

This tiny little nest was found in one of the hanging plants on our porch – it was abandoned at that point – so I brought it inside and put it under my cloche. I love nests – they are little miracles.

Next to the cloche is my little Bakelite bird napkin ring.

Birds in paintings: the top one is by Christie Repasy, the middle is a Stellar Jay painted on tile that we bought in Flagstaff, the bottom is in a large flower painting hanging in the den.
