Pink Saturday

October 24, 2009 at 12:01 am by Claudia

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone! Please stop by Beverly’s blog to see a list of everyone participating.

A while back I asked Connie of Living Beautifully where she had found the slipcovers she had on her office chairs. She graciously gave me the website – Cherry Blossom Cottage – and I bookmarked it, hoping to order one someday. I eventually tried to order one particular slipcover but it was gone by the time I got around to it. Time passed and when I went to visit the site, it was no longer there. I assumed it was no longer in business.

Not long after this, I won a giveaway at my friend Donna’s blog, An Enchanted Cottage. Donna had several fabric pumpkins of her own and as the giveaway winner, I got to choose some fabric pumpkins from Ronda’s (the designer) website – Tempting Textiles. Then Donna said Tempting Textiles used to be Cherry Blossom Cottage. Ah! Are you still with me? I ordered my pumpkins and also ordered a slipcover for my office chair. And it is pink!




Isn’t it a pretty pink slipcover? Ronda does lovely work and I couldn’t be happier. It goes nicely in my sewing area. And it makes me smile.

Have a great weekend!

    Ronda from Cherry Blossom Cottage is the BEST. I bought her very first computer chair cover three years ago. She does amazing work and her chair covers are always made with great fabrics. I’m so glad you found her pretties.

    Yessss, she makes the best ones and has the greatest prices around for them, sweetpea! I ordered 3, gave one to my daughter and one to a blogger who was having a rough time staying at home with her children and feeling like other women had it better than her. I think it cheered her up. Doing every little bit I can to help others be happy, chick!

Makes me think I might want to dress up my office chair, too. It is pretty boring. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

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.
