Pink Saturday

August 22, 2009 at 12:06 am by Claudia

It is Pink Saturday again – thank you to Beverly for keeping track of all of us every week! Please stop by the other participants’ blogs and leave a comment. It means so much when we get a comment from fellow participants…don’t just look…comment! Chances are the gesture will be returned.

I participated in my first swap this week. I know swaps are going on all the time in blogland, but I don’t always feel that I’m ‘crafty’ enough to participate. After seeing my little fabric hearts, my friend Elyse of Cottage suggested a swap and I thought it was time to face my fears! I received my package this week….oooh la la! Shall we open the box?

A sweet little note from Elyse. I must see what’s under the tissue paper!

Ah – what have we here?
Oh, such treasures! Let me give you some close-ups…
Look at these pretties!
Fashioned by Elyse and oh-so-lovely, with the prettiest pencil I’ve ever seen! Isn’t it perfect? I think it will reside in my ‘studio.’
Buttons, tags, trims, all sorts of fun things to create with!


Oooh! Elyse’s famous clip art! I have always wanted these! Look closely…do you see my name on two of the clips? And ‘Mockingbird Hill Cottage?’ Sigh! I love them. (Have you noticed Elyse’s flowered tissue paper? Everything matches!)

I love everything, Elyse. I can’t wait to play with my treats! By the way, Elyse has her own Etsy shop and you must stop by some time.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

The winner of the blog signature giveaway is Vicki of Bunny Cottage. Congratulations, Vicki! Please email me with your email address so that I can pass it along to Mandy. Anyone who is interested in a blog signature should visit Mandy’s Etsy shop – you will be pleasantly surprised how reasonable her prices are!

    Beautiful treasures she sent you.
    I’m sure whatever you did is wonderful, but i understand what you are saying about not being good enough. I think we all feel that way sometimes.

    Blessings, and have a wonderful Saturday.

    So sorry that I am getting to you a day late and a dollar short for Pink Saturday. Seems like the day just got away from me.

    The sun was out in the afternoon and all day today, so with all the rain we’ve had, I went outside to play.

    As always, it is a pleasure to come here to see what you are sharing and what you’ve been up to during the week. Thanks so much for making my weekend all ♥Pink and Pretty♥

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.
