Basket of Flowers

August 5, 2009 at 3:00 pm by Claudia


Do you remember my basket? I found it when I was in San Diego. Here is its new home. I took a trip to IKEA yesterday with Heidi and her daughters. Heidi’s eldest daughter is going to be an Resident Advisor at her university. She wanted to decorate her room. What better place than IKEA? We were in there over 3 hours…but she ended up with some great buys. On the way back we stopped at….be still my heart….Trader Joe’s. I’ve missed it so much! This TJs is the closest one to us – a car ride of over an hour. I bought a few things, including this bouquet. You can’t beat the price. I decided to photograph it today…oh, wait a minute, someone else would like to be included in the photo. She is posing.


She has a flair for the drama, just like her Mama. Look at her, gazing wistfully toward the front door. It brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it? Miss Scout, Oscar-winning actress. At least she thinks so.

Scenes from the Garden

Thought we’d take a stroll around the garden today.





Lots of cottagey (is that a word?) prettiness!

Tomorrow I am participating in Karen’s party. I’ll be sharing my teeny, tiny workspace with you.


See you then!

The View from the Porch

July 12, 2009 at 10:25 am by Claudia


One of my favorites – the tiger lily – is everywhere in our neck of the woods. I love this group that blooms every year on the front edge of our lawn. As I drive around my neighborhood I see bunches of these beauties everywhere. Mockingbird Hill Cottage came with its very own magical tiger lily patch. Weren’t we lucky?

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.
