For my far away friends

March 2, 2009 at 12:39 am by Claudia


I bought these two lovely pins (and one for myself) from my friend Joy’s booth at Vignettes. Perfect color, perfect look. I miss my dear friends back home. We work together at Heidi’s store, we love all things vintage and we love auctions. Did I mention the fact that we all have the same surname? Hill. Yes, we do. It makes us laugh, this same name thing…it is as if it was a requirement for the job. “Must answer to the last name of Hill.” I file it all under the category of ‘Meant to be.’

I waited to post this photo until I knew my package had arrived. It has. I miss you, friends. Go to an auction for me, okay?

New Treasures

March 3, 2008 at 4:56 pm by Claudia

I am lucky enough to work part-time at a local home and antique shop. The owner is a friend of mine who is enormously talented. She can arrange and display merchandise in such a wonderful way that every customer who comes in raves about the shop. I see lots of neat treasures all the time and manage to resist temptation. However, when this table came in I wasted no time in letting my friend know that I wanted it. She had other plans for it, but my heart was set on it. I hung in there until she realized that I was like a dog with a bone and she gave in – very graciously, I might add. Today we brought it home. Its a round table like many others, but I fell in love with the legs. I don’t know how well you can see them, but I love their curvy lines. The table also has two leaves, so we can have a nice group over for dinner. Our previous table was a primitive green work table that we have moved up to our office. We are very happy with our new addition. (Please excuse the slightly crooked photo.)

We also go to a lot of auctions. This is my newest McCoy vase that I won at auction the other night. Isn’t it lovely? Its called the “Strap Vase.”

Have a happy Monday!

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.
