Advice, Please?

January 24, 2010 at 9:06 am by Claudia


I need your advice. My post about the bulletin board re-do ended with my wondering if it might just be too pretty to clutter up with ‘things.’ I still haven’t decided what to do. Yesterday, husband and I were chatting and he thinks I should hang it on a wall in the living room as a piece of art. Hmmmm. The thought of sticking a thumbtack or pin in this is a little daunting. If you would be so kind as to comment with your thoughts on my dilemma…I would be most grateful. Please?

Pink Saturday

January 23, 2010 at 1:05 am by Claudia

Hello, everyone – Happy Pink Saturday! As always, please stop by and visit our hostess, Beverly, for a list of everyone participating.

Today I am sharing a chair that I won on eBay. It’s for my dollhouse. It’s pink, of course!

This is how it looked when I received it. Cute, but since I am going for a shabby country chic look, I have a change in mind.

I just had to ‘shabbify’ this sweet chair – there, that’s better!


Here it is with the coffee table I previously transformed. This is such fun – and much faster than painting the adult-sized furniture in my house!

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Vintage Fabric & Awards

January 21, 2010 at 11:16 pm by Claudia


What is it about fabric and trims that makes them so yummy? I have no idea what I am going to do with these, but I couldn’t pass them up. The linen guest towel has my initial on it so it had to come home with me, the vintage pillow cover had the neatest texture, the fabric at the top of the photo is gorgeous – a nice, heavy weight and there are two yards of it, and the french lace is…well, french lace.


I’ve been remiss in mentioning two awards I have been given. The first is from Debbie. She has 2 blogs, There’s an Angel on my Front Porch and Simply Debbie.


Thank you, Debbie!

The other is from Duchess of Tea at Rose Tea Cottage.


Thank you, Duchess!

Please visit these lovely bloggers. They are simply wonderful women.

Have a wonderful Friday!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
