:: The fix-it crew worked long into the night and the sinkhole is covered. Today they are back out there doing whatever it is they have to do to finish the job off. We had water around 8:00 pm and I finally took a shower around 9:00. Oh, that felt good!
:: Does it ever seem to you that Fifi is photographing everyone’s house but yours? Come on, be honest! It seems as if every time I go visit a blog lately, Fifi is on the way to photograph the blogger’s house or has just left. It started with my good friend, Elyse, then Lizzie, then my sort-of neighbor, Sandy and now she is traveling through the midwest. In all seriousness, congratulations, fellow bloggers!
Truth be told, I don’t think my house is ready for any sort of professional photography. But it is cute. And charming enough to make me happy. At least for the moment. I know myself; I will want to change things as soon as I get home. When I’m away for a long period of time, I come back and see the cottage with a much more critical eye.
:: More photos from Christie and Rita’s sale:
The lovely Rita
Rita crafts the most wonderful birdhouses
Some of Christie’s gorgeous painted flowers that completely transform this piece of furniture.
For some reason, I never got a photo of Christie. There were lots of people there and she was very, very busy.
:: King Lear opened on Saturday. One down, two more to go. And I have only 6 more days until I am winging my way home.
Have a wonderful Monday.
Yea! Six more days! :-)
Enjoyed the photos today.
XO,
Sheila :-)

What a dreamy birdhouse – I think you should make one for your dollhouse – which BTW I hope we are going to see more of when you get home! ;)
Ciao Claudia,
I love your photos! Can I borrow one or two? I had few visual editors e-mailing me for suggestions or if I knew on any cute houses to publish. I could have said: MINE! I can’t I still think I am not ready and it’s been 19 years that I am not ready to have my home featured. I wish they could just feature was just my chickens! Your home is deliziosa. Ciao for now

Beautiful photos Claudia of beautiful things.
My house isn’t on Fifi’s list but I was asked by a contributing Romantic Home writer if I would be interested. Um, not sure. Looks like lots of work.
Glad you get to go home soon. I just know you are anxiously awaiting the day.
hugs

Sending a sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm! Glad to hear that the sink hole is on the mend – how awful to be without water all that time! I don’t know who Fifi is but I’ll have to do some digging around now that you have my curiosity nudged a bit. So nice that you’ll be home soon!!! Yea!!! It’s been hot here, and HUMID – bad hair days for me!! Ciao, bella!
Six more days– yes!! I’m looking forward to hearing about your “return nesting” at MHC. Your home is so wonderful, I’m amazed that Fifi hasn’t visited. (Maybe because she knows you’re out of town, right?!
Hugs,
Jill
Claudia, what a fun post! Looks like it was a great sale, I was so sorry to miss it. I’m sure your home is beautiful, and warm, and cozy and just right for you and the ones you love. xo Lidy
How lovely!! Happy Monday!
Hugs, Lisa
Oh that looks like such fun! I see treasures I would have brought home:)Glad you are back to your spunky self!
You’re almost home Dear Claudia! How happy you must be, and I’m thrilled for you. There is nothing in my apartment that would appeal to a magazine, unless it’s packed moving boxes and decluttering projects. LOL I adore the painted flowers by Christie! Beautiful work.
I’ve always wanted to make birdhouses. Or marry someone who knew how already!
Brenda
Ohhhhhh, so many pretties! What a fun day you must of had! Well, Fifi hasn’t been to my house either! LOL! I bet you she will be knocking at your door someday!
Love ya,
Maryjane
Claudia, what beautiful treasures at this sale! I love the painted furniture… so so pretty. I loved seeing the photos.
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog post… xoxo Heather
Very Cute Stuff!
Six days! Oh, I can’t even imagine how excited you are to be home with your dear hubby and doggies…and that wonderful home and garden.
What a lovely shop!
Enjoy…Dogwood
Congrats on your sink hole recovery! Now you can get back to concentrating on your beautiful life. By the way, I’m sure Fifi would stop by if she knew you were available!
LOL, you are hilarious!
Seriously, I’m not jealous of the other bloggers getting their houses photographed, I just wish Miss Fifi would wise up and hire me as an assistant photog. Hey, it could happen. ;-)
XO,
Anne
P.S. Your photos are GORGEOUS
Have a safe trip home – you must be beyond excited! And I love Rita’s outfit. Looking forward to your posts from *home sweet home*. :-) -amy
Your sweet cottage is definitely Fifi worthy! So nice that you’ll be home soon.
That glittered flower is sooooo pretty. And the roses painted on the furniture piece…too wonderful! Makes it simply sublime!
