Monday Thoughts

September 14, 2009 at 9:58 am by Claudia


Sorry for my absence over the weekend. Heidi had her annual Tent Event and I was helping out at the store on Saturday and Sunday. Lots of fun – with vendors in the big tent, lots of shoppers, and entertainment under another tent. Sweet husband was one of the talented people performing. It was a splendid, if tiring, weekend! (I can only imagine how tired Heidi is.)

The photo above is of my prize from Jennifer of The Old Painted Cottage. Do you remember the incredible reveal she had of Cottage8? I still go back and drool over the photos. Well, she had a fun game going on throughout the day and I was one of the winners. Isn’t this fabulous? I know just where I’m going to hang it – on the side of my kitchen island. Thank you, Jennifer!

I know I said that The Week of the Dog was over – but I couldn’t resist this photo…


…in which a remote appears to be growing out of Scout’s head. It doesn’t appear to be bothering her, does it?

Have a lovely Monday!

    Oh Happy Monday Claudia!
    Congrats on the fleur de lis. I love it. How beautiful that would be on the side of an island. Please show us when you get it hung up. I always love to come here. You have such creative ideas and I so love your home. It is fun to visit.

    Scout looks so sweet with that remote coming out of his ear. Looks to me like you need another remote or two for the house. Do you each have one of your own, including Scout? Ha! Ha! Ha!

    Thanks for stopping by this morning sweetie. I am so thrilled that you love the new color of my wall. I just thought it turned out beautifully. I sat and had my breakfast yesterday just gazing at the wall of happiness. It made me smile, and all I can say is “It makes me happy.” Country hugs and love sweetie, Sherry

    That Scout is just too cute! I can’t keep my Haggie away from the remotes either! He likes to steal them!

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.
