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!

Pink Saturday

April 25, 2009 at 12:06 am by Claudia

Hello and Happy Pink Saturday! Please go to How Sweet the Sound to see all the other posts. Thank you, Beverly, for all you do.

I will be at rehearsal all day today and tomorrow. I will do my best to visit all of you throughout the weekend.

This little pink bag was one of the goodies offered at the last Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique. Isn’t it lovely?

I was really drawn to this beautiful pink pillow cover.

You know me, I always have to add some flowers. These were the tulips in my apartment this week. I love tulips!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Rehearsing, Rehearsing

April 23, 2009 at 12:26 am by Claudia

Thank you so much for your sweet and compassionate comments on my last post. I appreciate them more than I can say. I just wanted to stop in and say hello. Summer Repertory rehearsals have started and I have been working 10 hour days this week. That is what the rest of the week will be about. Rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal. I spent a frustrating hour or so this morning wrestling with my printer. It decided to break down when I needed it most. Ah, you’re asking: didn’t you just buy a printer in January, Claudia? Yes. I. Did. So you can imagine how frustrated I am. A little trip to Best Buy is indicated for tomorrow morning, box in hand.

Friday’s schedule has worked out beautifully. The director of the show rehearsing that day doesn’t need me until the afternoon, so I can go to the Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique. That means lots of wonderful things to see and photograph for you.

I’ll be back soon.

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.
