Counting the Minutes

March 5, 2009 at 1:36 pm by Claudia

He arrives tomorrow night…so I am counting the minutes until the plane touches down. In the meantime, I am running errands, cleaning, doing laundry, and trying to teach students who are desperately in need of a spring break and know that its just around the corner.

He is getting everything ready and organized for the dog sitter. This is our first time leaving the dogs with this sitter, so there is a lot to explain. Riley and Scout, if you can hear me, be good and know that Dad will be home soon. And Mom will come home for 10 days in April.

More later.

For my far away friends

March 2, 2009 at 12:39 am by Claudia


I bought these two lovely pins (and one for myself) from my friend Joy’s booth at Vignettes. Perfect color, perfect look. I miss my dear friends back home. We work together at Heidi’s store, we love all things vintage and we love auctions. Did I mention the fact that we all have the same surname? Hill. Yes, we do. It makes us laugh, this same name thing…it is as if it was a requirement for the job. “Must answer to the last name of Hill.” I file it all under the category of ‘Meant to be.’

I waited to post this photo until I knew my package had arrived. It has. I miss you, friends. Go to an auction for me, okay?

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.
