I’m off to Manhattan this morning, so I’m a wee bit rushed as I drink my much needed coffee and gather my things together for the trip into the city. Any trip in ends up being a rather big deal, simply because of the amount of time it takes to get there. The Kindle is charged, as is my phone. I know where I’m headed once I get off the bus.
But it’s cold out there!
Two more items arrived yesterday for the dollhouse, and that’s the last of the deliveries for a while. I purchased these from an Etsy shop called Green Gypsies.
This extra large rug is perfect for the floor in the bedroom. The floors needed some softening and, besides, Caroline’s feet were getting cold. This photo is making the rug look a bit too pinkish. It’s more muted than that. I’ll try for a better photo soon.
And in the kitchen:
This charming retro design that I’ve had bookmarked for almost two years. I finally hit the purchase button. Isn’t it perfect for Caroline’s kitchen? And we all know it helps to have a nice rug underneath your feet when doing dishes.
That’s a carton of egg nog on the counter that Judy sent me last year.
Photo taking has been difficult because it’s been so dark and dreary around here. My kingdom for a sunny day.
Ah well.
I’m off, friends.
Happy Friday.
Nancy Moreland says
Morning Claudia, Good luck today in Manhattan, hope all goes well. I am heading out today for a job interview. Full time jobs are hard to come by these days. At least ones that will pay enough to get by and has benefits. Stay warm and have a great day!
Hugs and Caroline’s house is looking so cute!
Claudia says
Crossing my fingers for you, Nancy!
Barbara W. says
How perfect. I especially love the vintage kitchen rug.
Enjoy your day in the city. :)
Claudia says
I did. But I’m very glad to be home. It was cold and windy in NYC!
Tana says
A milk carton sitting on the counter. It brings back memories when the kids were little. Me: who left the milk carton sitting on the counter? One kid or another: I did. Sorry, I forgot. Caroline must have house guests. She never does that.
Claudia says
Caroline is entertaining. That carton is Egg Nog!
Linda @ A La Carte says
Sorry, I think Milk and cookies! I’m not an egg nog fan :(
Linda @ A La Carte says
Love both rugs…yes Miss Caroline needs to keep those feet warm in this cold weather! Love the milk carton on the counter. Just made me smile. Enjoy your Manhattan time! Stay Warm!
hugs,
Linda
Claudia says
Egg Nog, Linda, Egg Nog! It’s holiday time!
Linda @ A La Carte says
whoops I replied on the wrong comment! see above! LOL!
Claudia says
I’m not a big Egg Nog person either, and I’m also not a big Milk person….
Pat says
Pretty rugs under-foot are always a nice treat on a cold winter’s day… (late Fall)
Careful travels friend!
Claudia says
Back home safe and sound, Pat.
Nancy in PA says
Who wouldn’t want to move into that perfectly charming little house?
Claudia says
I sure do!
Missy says
Darling rugs..Safe trip to the big city…Always cold there…Brrr! But I love it..
Claudia says
It was very cold today – and windy!
Donnamae says
It’s been gloomy here all week too…and all our snow has melted. Hope you have a good day! So glad Caroline’s tootsies will be warm! ;)
Claudia says
She complained about the wood floors on a cold morning, so I ordered a rug.
Donnamae says
lol! ;)
Chris k in Wisconsin says
Hope you had a safe and productive trip. The rugs are gorgeous! One needs to keep their feet warm in these cold winter months.
Claudia says
Yes, indeed!
LuvWheaties says
It looks like Caroline’s bedroom rug is a copy of the rug I have in my living room! She’s got great taste. I’m a pink girl (including pink front door) so there can never be too much pink for me. Well, yes, actually there can be, but I do love it. If I say pink has been overdone, it’s been overdone. And Caroline is using it judiciously.
Claudia says
It’s actually NOT pink. It’s more cream and beige with some pink tones. I didn’t want too much pink in that room. The photo makes it look more pink than it is.
Nancy Blue Moon says
Pretty rugs..Have a fun day in the city..but stay warm!
Claudia says
It was cold and windy. Happy to be home sitting in front of the Christmas Tree.
Susie says
Claudia, Hope you have fun in the city. Hope you have lots of warm clothing. Would be fun to go along. We were to have sunshine, it started out that way. it was 41 when I went to town and 27 when I came home. Well brr. . I like your new doll house items. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Claudia says
I saw a glimmer of sun this morning but it didn’t last long.
Janet in Rochester says
I’m predicting that getting into the cheery brightness of New York in December will be just like a tonic, even amid these dreary, glum gray skies. Enjoy your visit & do some window-shopping!
Claudia says
No time for window shopping. Got in, walked about 12 blocks, briskly, because it was cold and windy. Got a hot chocolate to go, went to rehearsal, worked, left rehearsal, got some lunch to go, then got on the bus again.
Nancy in PA says
Claudia, are you allowed to tell us anything about your work today?
