    I like all your ‘corners’ of the cottage and beyond. Did you paint the art in the studio? Charming. And I’m fond of Don’s collection of wooden puppets. I know there’s another name for them but can’t think of it. What do you call them?

    I’m intrigued by your jade plant….and it’s interesting shape. Wondering how it got that way. As an experiment I put my jade plants and Thanksgiving cactus outside for the summers last year and this year, and I’ve been amazed at their growth. They might get as big as yours one of these days.

    Enjoy your weekend! ;)

      In the life-sized studio, yes!

      They’re called jumping jacks, Donnamae.

      Don brought that jade plant home many years ago. He got it at a farm stand. I don’t do anything special. It just grows that way.

      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.
