A Baby Shoe

May 4, 2009 at 11:56 am by Claudia

This was my Grandmother’s baby shoe. My Mom gave it to me many years ago. Grandma passed away in 1985 ~ she was in her 90’s. I have many treasures that belonged to Grandma, but this little shoe really touches me. How sweet it is with the cream colored buttons and soft black leather. It was worn on the little foot of a woman I only knew as an adult. It has stayed in remarkably good condition.

Right before I returned to California, I gently put it under my glass dome. It will be waiting for me when I return.

Pink Saturday

May 2, 2009 at 12:03 am by Claudia

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone! Please stop by Beverly’s place to see a list of all participating. As you know, I went to the Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique last weekend. Thought I’d share a few of the pink treasures I saw there.

I love this pink desk – or dressing table.


On the left is a vintage dress – on the right a coverlet made of pink barkcloth. The backing of the coverlet is a red color and the ties are red. I contemplated getting this and I didn’t. Now I could kick myself.

Here is a closer view. Again – what was I thinking?

Love this pink chair.

To close – some tulips!



This will be another Saturday and Sunday in rehearsal. I also have to attend a formal dinner at the University on Saturday evening honoring, among others, one of my former students. All this is to say I may be a bit late getting around to everyone’s posts, but I will!

The Scene Right Outside the Rehearsal Rooms

May 1, 2009 at 11:34 am by Claudia


This is what I see as I am about to enter the Rehearsal Rooms. The rooms are downstairs in the basement of a building ~ so this view is much appreciated. I try to spend some time here everyday.


Hope you enjoy the view!

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.
