My husband snapped this photo of me the other day…I had been working for hours cleaning up parts of the property. Covered in dirt, tired and seemingly missing my eyebrows, I was not a candidate for a beauty shot. Despite my husband’s assertion that I looked cute, I knew I looked just plain grubby.
I walked inside the house and found a package waiting for me. This was inside:
One of Lori’s beautiful puffs.
Besides being thrilled to receive this gorgeous, handmade, silken, feminine indulgence, I also laughed out loud. I guess that grubby girl in the photo has a pretty, frou-frou side. We all have contradictory sides to our personalities…I sure do. I think that makes us so much more interesting, don’t you?
I should have had Don take a picture of me in the grubby clothes holding the puff!
Much to do before my 7:15 AM flight on Saturday morning – I’m a bit under the weather today but I have to keep at it.
Have a wonderful day.
I can certainly relate to this, I have been on both side of grubby and frufru!
Oh I love all your sides!! You have to get grubby sometimes it’s a must! Love your puff!! Enjoy your girlie side!!
Feel better so you can get ready to go to CA!!
OH! I saw your niece on the show! It was good I haven’t seen it before! The houses there are crazy. Living here in all the rain I cannot imagine all the outdoor living!
Hugs, Lisa
You do look cute. I think it is a good thing when we get out and do yardwork, fresh air, dirt under the finger nails, a closer connection to nature.
That puff is lovely. How perfect afer a day of hard work, to clean up and feel pretty with something like that.

HI CLAUDIA,

Claudia~

Garden On-

I think you look adorable in the picture- it’s good for our souls to be a little grubby sometimes. I hope you have a safe flight Claudia ♥
Love the photo!! Claudia, I always look grubby, LOL, and when I do get cleaned up, my hubby goes, you look so pretty :)
One of these says when I can afford one I want to purchase one of Lori’s puffs. They are BEAUTIFUL!!!
xxoo
That photo of you is so adorable!
I sometimes think I have a split personality when it comes to decorating. Sometimes I’m drawn to the bright whimsical vintage (think tablecloths) and sometimes I’m drawn to the soft, serene pastels (think frou frou). I guess life is just too short to be stuck in one style!
Take care, and good luck with your preparations!
Hugs,
Jill
Love the pic, isn’t it fun to be split..hehehe…Love the puff…

Hi Claudia,
I LOVE the picture! Love seeing my blogging friends in action.
It’s funny you posted this b/c my husband, Larry followed me around the garden the other taking my pic w/o me knowing. I plan to post them soon!
From one grubby gardener to the other~

Hubby is right; you’re cute! Me???? I’d love like you’d wanna throw me back in the hole! Yep, true….

Don is right, you are adorable:)
Hope you’re feeling better soon, Claudia! Gorgeous outfit!:)
Monicax.
I also agree with your hubby, you look very cute in that pic – what a smile!! :)
You are beautiful and I miss you!
You do look adorable Claudia…what a lovely smile you have.
You look like you are enjoying yourself too. Perhaps when you are in SD you can pop over to my house and look at my garden :-)
The puff is beautiful as well.
Lori makes beautiful things!
Oh, I’ve been admiring these! You lucky girl. I think you look cute too. Like a tomboy. But I know your feminine soft side that loves doll houses and pretty McCoy pottery. We all have these “sides” that not everyone sees. And you know just what I mean. Love ya!

Nice of you to smile for the picture rather than launching your shovel at him harpoon-style . . . which is what I would have done . . . because I’m not nice.
Lovely puff! Feel better.
I can definitely relate. I spend most of my life with paint stains on my clothes and hands mixed with glitter and fabric strings!
I think you look pretty cute.
Love that powder puff, too pretty to use.
hugs

Claudia:
Definitely a girl after my own heart! You look great!
Safe travels, my friend.

Donna
Hi Claudia, I love seeing you like this and all the comments are great. You are loved! Christie
I sure can relate! But wow, doesn’t it feel good to get all that accomplished. Love the eyebrow part, I’ll share mine with ya!
hugs,
Debra
Dear Split Pea!
you’re just like me, but then again I think most ‘real’ women know how to grub it up and get busy…and then pretty up when necessary! it’s a gift, right!!!
take care!
ciao bella

LOL! Well, I think you look cute too!
We do have a great many sides to each of us, I think, and yep, it does make us more interesting.
Feel better sweetie, and safe journey.

That is a great photo! I have been caught in my pajamas in the garden. I love gardening, it feels so good to be out there cleaning things up, seeing shoots coming up and buds ready to bloom. I wish my body loved gardening as much as I do : )
I am sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather, I hope that it is nothing long lasting and that you are feeling fabulous soon. Especially before Saturday. I wish you the very best!
Hugs,
Terri
Fun! We look a lot alike – dirt and all. :)
I love Lori’s sweet confections – such a delight for you to have one of her puffs!!!
At least you were wearing your Red Sox ball hat!!
Claudia, you are SO cute:) i am really happy that you liked your puff!!!
