Corners of the Cottage

August 15, 2026 at 9:18 am by Claudia

Around the cottage on a Saturday morning.

I think I might do this kind of post on Saturdays. After having written a long post on Friday, I often don’t have much to say the next day. But photos taken from bits and pieces of the cottage might be fun. And it injects fresh energy into a Saturday morning.

Did you know I have a YouTube Channel? I share a bit about my collections and the cottage and the dollhouses. But lately, I’ve been doing weekly posts on the process of renovating the Beacon Hill. You can hear my voice and get a sense of my successes and struggles. There is more there than there would be in a standard post here.  “Claudia the Chronic Collector” and here is the link.

Stay safe.

Happy Saturday.

    your saturday morning post (heehee) idea sounds and looks great … and i’m glad it will be easier for you! so, yes, please and thank you to that.

    also, i am so pleased for you to have a framed photo on the wall of you and sally field (and others) from when you acted together in “spoiler alert”!!!

    i am going to enjoy a do-very-little day today. had a busy week just past, with some little things being much more complicated or time-consuming than i’d hoped or thought they would be, and i have some bigger things coming up, so am going to take it easy today.

    hope you, don and everyone else have a good weekend. and that all the tax paperwork is ready for you and don. :)

      Stay safe.

    I love every photo! It’s a wonderful idea. And seeing how much you have already done on Beacon Hill as a whole is inspiring!

      It’s so hard to take a picture like that because there’s very little room in which to significantly step back from it.

      Thanks, Jeanie.

      Stay safe.

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.
