Things I like on a Sunday morning

March 15, 2009 at 1:00 pm by Claudia


Sitting on the sofa with a cup of French Roast ~ reading a wonderful novel. Hearing the birds singing away outside and realizing that their ever-present song will be coming back to my home in New York very soon. Watching the cloudy morning skies give over to glorious sunshine.

Gazing at the beautiful roses I bought at Trader Joes the other day. They are tiny, in different shades of pink and cream that delicately color the buds ~ they look like candy.


My Trader Joes tote ~ aren’t the colors wonderful? So cheerful ~ the graphics are splendid.


My “Knitting Muse” ~ my sister has one like this and I admired it on my last trip to Florida. When Don was here, we explored a little shop here called Grove that has all my favorite things: books, fabric, yarn, paintings, clothing, jewelry. I remarked that if I was going to open a shop, Grove would be exactly what I’d go for. I bought some earrings, some Amy Butler fabric, and at the register I saw this! Meant to be. Now if I could just get knitting again, all would be perfect.

I hope your Sunday is a good one. I have some work to do at the computer for school. I also am attending a matinee of a musical, Working, currently playing at the Globe. I did a little dialect work with two of the actors and both of my current downstairs neighbors are in it.

More later.

    Ah how interesting. I’ve been wondering how you are doing now that your hubby is gone. Also, I wonder what you would do with the dialect of my soft southern accent!?

    Hello, Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you so much for stopping by! Very pretty post on Pink Sat. Loved your post for today too and the beach pics. I miss the beach since moving to the mountains of WV.
    Bless you, Shirl

    I like Sunday mornings like that too. It did look like the sun was coming out just as I was leaving. Oh well…hopefully the timing on weather and meeting will be better next time! It was great to talk to you and put an audible voice with your blog voice and face. I really appreciate that we made that connection.
    Have a great Monday,
    Beth

    We have a new Trader Joes just about a mile away now. They just opened last week, and sent me a coupon for a free bag. I’ll have to go pick it up in the next couple of days. The graphics and the colors are nice.

    Love those roses…I’ll have to look for some of those too!

    I HAVE to buy that tote for my daughter, who is into ships! I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Trader Joe’s in our area has the same totes!!! I love your knitting muse. I have a fairy holding a bluejay in her hand, sitting on a crescent moon that says, “Tell me, what is it YOU plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Mary Oliver… I’m certain it’s by the same company. I just love it; it hangs in my office. Hope you get to knitting sometime soon!… Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage

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.
