A Bunny and an Anniversary

October 12, 2009 at 7:55 am by Claudia


Look who I saw outside the kitchen window. Soon after this photo was taken, he took off and I could see his little cotton tail disappearing into the woods. I hadn’t seen one in a long while, so I was delighted when this little guy showed up for a brief moment. I am nuts about bunny rabbits!

Today is our wedding anniversary – 11 years. We did indeed get married on Columbus Day as it was my husband’s day off from the theater. Last year was a big celebration. This year we will spend the day raking leaves, putting our window air conditioners into storage and cleaning. My sister arrives on Thursday for 4 days. The office/music studio/guest room has to become a guest bedroom and less of a music studio.

I hope you are enjoying your holiday. Happy Anniversary, Don!

Pink Saturday and an Anniversary

July 4, 2009 at 12:00 am by Claudia

Happy Pink Saturday and Fourth of July everyone! I’m celebrating the anniversary of meeting my husband. 15 years ago I met Don at a friend’s Fourth of July party on the beach here in San Diego. Yes, I literally saw fireworks when I met him! We celebrate both our anniversaries. But in some ways, this is the most meaningful – I mean I wouldn’t have a wedding anniversary without that initial meeting, would I?

Now on to some pinkness!

This pretty ensemble was on display at the Barn Sale.

Don’t you love these canisters?

I gasped when I saw this desk – I love the curvy lines and the rose knobs – so pretty! I wouldn’t mind blogging from this beauty.
Please stop by Beverly’s blog and visit everyone on the Pink Saturday list. Have a great weekend. I am finally headed home this Monday! I’ve just about finished packing, have one show yet to open and then a lot of hugs and good-byes to share.

An Anniversary and a Cause

June 1, 2009 at 1:09 pm by Claudia

First, I want to wish my parents a Happy Anniversary! Today marks 63 years since they took their vows back in Detroit, Michigan. I am so proud of you, Mom and Dad. You made a commitment to each other, worked hard at your marriage and raised 4 children. I am enormously proud of you and thankful that you are my parents. Happy Anniversary, Gordon and Shirley!


I want to draw your attention to a wonderful cause. Kelee Katillac is a designer who truly gives back to the community. Her latest idea is one that will really help lost dogs. Oliver Wendell is Kelee’s dog – the photo you see above is of a scarf. Kelee’s idea is to have us all buy scarves and decorate them, then take a photo of the scarf on your dog and send it to Kelee. For each decorated scarf $10.00 will be contributed to the effort to help rescue lost dogs. Many, many pets are being abandoned by families dealing with foreclosure and financial loss. What a great idea! Please visit Kelee ~ she will tell you exactly what to do.

Have a wonderful Monday! (Don’t forget to scroll down and see the eye candy from the Barn Sale!)

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.
