Cottage Home

Remember the “Roses” sign from my giveaway? I also bought this sign – both of them were created by Rita. Where to put it? Right above my two side-by-side windows in the kitchen. Our living room and kitchen are really one big room. As you enter the front door, you can see straight back to this set of windows. I love the idea of being greeted by this sign.


Forgive the photo – I was shooting directly into the morning sunlight. You get the idea. I am finding new homes for many of the things I purchased in California. I’m also fluffing, rearranging, cleaning out closets and dresser drawers, thinking about painting some furniture…all the things that seem to happen when you’ve been away for a long time and see your home with ‘fresh’ eyes!

The dogs got a much-needed bath yesterday and today I am dealing with HAIR EVERYWHERE. Scout and Riley are both long-haired and they have tons of it. So I’m off to swiffer and vacuum.

The View from the Porch

One of my favorites – the tiger lily – is everywhere in our neck of the woods. I love this group that blooms every year on the front edge of our lawn. As I drive around my neighborhood I see bunches of these beauties everywhere. Mockingbird Hill Cottage came with its very own magical tiger lily patch. Weren’t we lucky?

Pink Saturday

July 10, 2009 at 11:32 pm by Claudia

Happy Pink Saturday to everyone and thank you to Beverly for hosting this event every Saturday. Please stop by her blog to find a list of everyone participating.

This week I am back at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. I’m unpacking, gardening, and just enjoying being with my family. On the first evening I was home I was surprised by a visit from Heidi and her family. They brought a welcome home dinner and dessert. I got the prettiest piece of cake.

I was given this beautiful pink rose on Opening Night of Twelfth Night.

This lovely mirror is hanging on the wall at Vignettes.

And this dressing table was at the Barn Sale.

Have a wonderful weekend!

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.
