Pink Saturday

June 6, 2009 at 12:43 am by Claudia

Hello, fellow lovers of pink! Thank you to Beverly for hosting our weekly celebration of pink. Please visit her blog to see a list of everyone participating.

Here we go ~ this little dress was at the Barn Sale. So sweet.

These shoes are too gorgeous! The dress and the shoes? And the tiara? Princess.

This sweet hat reminds me of something sweet Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables fame might wear.

This is the delicate shade of pink that occurs as a peony starts to fade. Beautiful.


I saved my favorite until last. This photo is from my sister Meredith’s blog. This is Wilbur. He is a 550 pound pig that has a deformed back leg. He has been raised from birth by the people that own this farm in North Carolina. Pigs are quite intelligent. Meredith got to pet him ~ I’m jealous. Isn’t he adorable? Now, that’s pink!


Have a wonderful day. Don’t forget, I’m having a Giveaway. After you have finished commenting here, scroll down and leave your name on Thursday’s post. You have to comment on both posts!

Friday Folderol

Happy Friday, everyone. You know I love peonies – and yes, I’m posting more photos. I cannot help myself. They are so gorgeous, so short-lived, so luscious! It also provides an opportunity to practice with my camera and the macro setting.


Beautiful. My husband sent the next photos – just to prove that I indeed have peonies on my property. Note to husband: please send photos of the garden and the now, I’m sure, fully open peonies.


I promised Donna that I would post a photo of my little vintage birdcage. I found this at Vignettes – my cottage is small and I need a petite birdcage. This is a vintage Hendryx cage that I fell in love with. Think of all the things I can do with it back at Mockingbird Hill Cottage! Right now, one of Joy’s birds is happily chirping away.


Don’t forget the Giveaway – scroll down for the details!

Giveaway Time!

Yes, yesterday’s post was my 225th and in honor of that milestone, I am having a giveaway. When I was at the Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique, I fell in love with these signs made by Rita. I bought two different signs. One of them said “Cottage Home.” The other said “Roses.” As I was staring at one of them the other day, I thought “You should have this be your giveaway!”


If you would like to be eligible for this giveaway, dear blogging friends, please leave a comment on this post. I love comments on all my posts, but for the giveaway, the comment must be on this post. I will then put all the names in a hat, or a bowl, or something, and pick the winner. The deadline is Monday, June 8th at Midnight EST.


Thank you, friends!

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.
