Equal Time

Someone was jealous….she insisted that I take her picture. Oh, those freckles on her ears…love them! And so ends the Week of the Dog at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.

Rain, Rain Go Away

August 13, 2009 at 9:20 am by Claudia

Enough, already. Rain and more rain…thunderstorms, power outages, humidity. Welcome to the Hudson Valley in August. Frankly, I’m trying to be tolerant, but failing. My poor husband, who has been here all summer enduring much more rain than usual, is beyond tired of it.

And these guys?

Bored.

Wants to go for a walk.
Sorry, little ones…too wet outside. Maybe I’ll try some sewing. My little sewing nook is lovely but its home in the hallway with no A/C limits my time there in the summer. But today is dark and rainy…so perhaps it will be cool enough to create something? Cross your fingers.

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.

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.
