La Maison Rustique, Part One

May 31, 2009 at 2:03 pm by Claudia

This weekend brought the Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique – I grabbed a bit of time and drove on up to Temecula. As usual, this event is always fabulous and fun. And it was packed with eager shoppers. I took lots of photos which I will present in no particular order.

First up – this mannequin designed by the talented Joy of The Vintage Rabbit. Beautiful.

Crosses and paper flowers from Joy.

This fabulous vintage O’Keefe and Merritt stove was in Rita’s booth. Oh, how I wanted it! I have always wanted a vintage stove. I am driving back but a stove might be a bit much to add to my load.

More of Rita’s offerings ~ I bought the Cottage Home sign you see on the wall.

Wonderful jewelry from Sherry.

Now this I could get into – talk about a daybed!

This chair was so beautifully restored – with paint and beautiful fabric.

I love this chippy metal look.

This bench was even longer than the photo indicates – I couldn’t get it all in the shot.

Isn’t this table adorable? Perfect for a little girl’s room.

I will post more tomorrow. As always, I took tons of photos ~ too many for one post.

Oh, and I am having a giveaway in the next couple of days! I missed my 200th post and am about to hit my 225th – and I have a little treasure I bought at the Barn Sale to giveaway. So keep checking back.

Have a great Sunday.

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!

    Hi Claudia,

    LOVE your glasses! Never been to your blog and I love it – cool to know you are a theater major/professor. That was my major as well – what are you in rehearsals for? Love the cottage – looks perfect! Also, this is DRIVING ME CRAZY…may I ask how do you get the beautiful custom template behind your blog? I see so many people on friggin blogspot with custom templates and I can’t figure it out. I am stuck with just a color. Do you mind sharing the tech part? Computer challenged over here.

    Take care and thanks for visiting my blog as well,
    Elizabeth

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.
