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!

La Maison Rustique, Part Two

April 28, 2009 at 11:40 am by Claudia

I promised more photos and I hope I can get these all posted before I have to take off for the day. A rather sleepless night has me a bit off my game. Here we go!

Beautiful garden display.

This booth belongs to my friend, Christie Repasy.

Here she is!


More vignettes



This chair has my friend Susan’s name written all over it.




More tomorrow – some photos of my finds.

La Maison Rustique, Part One

April 27, 2009 at 1:56 pm by Claudia


Hello, my friends. In the midst of 10 hour rehearsal days that make this particular blogger feel every bit of her age, I was able to squeeze in a morning visit to the sale at La Maison Rustique. I conveniently woke up early on Friday and got on the road in time to arrive right about opening time. Oh, I love this sale. First of all, so many creative women are involved – I am in awe of their talent. Second, the vignettes are beautiful, a feast for the eyes. Third, it is so much fun! I have made some lovely friends because of this sale (how I wish I could attend it every month of the year!) I took a lot of photos so I will post this in 2 parts. First up ~ Linda, who runs this extravaganza has a little trailer that she has decorated. I am in love with it! I’ve always secretly had a fantasy to own one of these.


Check out the chandelier!

Some shots of the various vignettes throughout the barn.







I will post more photos tomorrow – along with a few shots of the goodies I bought! Today is my only day off and I have to buy food and run some errands. Til tomorrow!

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.
