Pink Saturday

May 9, 2009 at 12:04 am by Claudia

Hello everyone – it is time for another Pink Saturday, hosted by Beverly. Please stop by her blog to see a list of all participating.

Well, another week has passed by full of rehearsals and work – so full that I can hardly believe its Saturday already. The usual still applies: I will be in rehearsals Saturday and Sunday and promise to visit you all over the weekend!

This is a mini Eiffel Tower that I originally bought to hold notes and reminders. After continually searching for my earrings, I decided to use it as an earring holder.

My set of Paris-related stamps from Cavallini –

Have to finish with more Tulips – I am really trying to take advantage of all the lovely bouquets at Trader Joes while I can.



Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

I’m trying a new background…not sure whether I like it or if I should go back to the old one. I felt like a change…any thoughts?

    How absolutely wonderful! Beverly sure knew what she was doing when she created a place for all of us “pinkies” to congregate and share our “pinkness”.

    Happy Mother’s Day to you. I hope you find yourself surrounded by those you love, good food, and a gentle peace in your ♥. We don’t need to be a mother to know a mother’s life. After all we all started out with a mom, didn’t we?☺

    How clever are you?? I’ve seen wire eiffel towers over the years and never, ever thought – Aha!!! What a great earring holder! I LOVE it!! The next time I see a wire sculpture, I’m going to be looking at it with new eyes!!

    Your background looks beautiful! I love to ‘change things up’ a bit once in a while (although usually it’s my banner that changes since I don’t know how to do background changes! haha )

    Have a wonderful week, Claudia!… Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage

    Hi Claudia, I like the background. It goes very well with the header. The note holder/ear ring holder is pretty, perfect . And the tulips are beautiful. I’ve done no stamping but these are very nice.
    I like the cherub picture and am glad you finally got it!!! I don’t often have something grab me in this way but I, too, have Mr Wonderful who takes extra good care of me…

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    hi claudia!

    love your pink saturday collection. i really like the way cavallini packages their things. i have the nest stamp set mostly because of the pretty tin! the eiffel tower is great (and so are your earrings)!

    i like the background. very soft and not distracting.

    happy PS!

    The background is lovely, the Eiffel Tower re-purpose is a great idea and I think we should all be taking advantage of the tulips at Trader Joe’s while we still can! You’ve inspired me to get myself over there and buy some!

    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Claudia, I love the background The other was lovely too but try this new one for a week or two. It took me a very long time to get used to the one I have. My background used to be a solid med. gray and I just couldn’t get used to all the colors in the new background…lol!

    What a great idea to use your Eiffel Tower to hold your earrings. I’d be buying up those bouquets of tulips too!

    Hello Claudie! I was over at Rita’s blog and saw that she took a picture of you and Christie at the Barn Sale in Temecula! I thought, hey I know Claudie! It’s a small world! Anyhoo, I live in Murrieta next door to Temecula, so the next time you are over this way I would love to meet you at the Barn! You have a sweet blog! You take such pretty pictures! Hope to see you 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.
