Two of my former students won Emmy awards last night. Jim Parsons won his second Emmy for his great work on Big Bang Theory and Abraham Higginbotham won for Modern Family – he is a writer and producer on that wonderful show. Truthfully, both of these guys were favorites of mine who also became my friends. Couldn’t be prouder of them. I just talked with Jim today. Though, wait a minute, I don’t think I heard my name in the acceptance speech…. hmmm.
What do you think of Gladys? Gladys is either a salt or pepper shaker. She was part of that wonderful package of goodies Vintage Sue sent to me. I am so taken by anything that is tiny. And I love this particular style of figurine with the rosy cheeks, cupid’s bow mouth and vintagey look. I believe Miss Gladys is a maid and it looks as if she just took a visitor’s hat.
This guy was also in the package – another salt or pepper shaker. Love, love this face.
What is it about teeny, tiny, miniature things? They call to me. I have little things like this all over the house. Of course, I have my dollhouse and all the miniatures that go in it, but the little things that I’m talking about today aren’t that kind of miniature. They’re not to scale. They are just wee little treasures that pop out here and there amongst all the ‘big’ things around the house. They are unexpected pleasures. Are you a tiny treasure lover?
Speaking of tiny, I used the macro setting to get this photo yesterday:
He’s spun his web in my rose bush. Amazing.
Have a great Monday.
Love spiders and their fancy artwork!
Wow, Claudia…how exciting to see former students do so well! Jim Parsons is a favorite of mine as is the whole cast and show of “Big Bang”..love the show! Of course, I always DVR both shows…even the reruns. Loved your dollhouse door in the other post….the front door is the “heart” of the home! Sweet little salt shaker!~Hugs, Patti
Claudia you have wonderful little things. I like them too. You might enjoy looking at my post: So Many Tiny Treasures. http://www.bsneeringer.blogspot.com
David and I are crazy about the “Big Bang Theory” ~ we never miss it! Jim Parsons is so very talented and how cool is it that you were his teacher. Wow! Now as far as little things go, you and I share this passion. All of the precious little things just make me smile!
Lots of love and hugs,
Susan and Bentley
YOU taught JIM PARSONS!?? OMG! I love him! His character cracks me up. Saw him not long ago on (I think Letterman or Ferguson) and enjoyed seeing HIM outside of his character. What a great young man he is!
LOVE the mini’s, too. Your dollhouse is adorable. You are going to have soooo much fun with that.
Have a sweet day!

Lovely shot of the spider Claudia. I too love tiny things. I have an affinity towards vintage egg cups with animal faces on them. It goes back to childhood when my great-grandmother made soft boiled eggs and had four lovely animal egg cups her mother brought from England. I have one and love it.
Congratulations on your Emmy win, because if they won you won too. We received exciting Emmy news last week. Our son and his crew won a technical Emmy for sound on The Kennedys. We are very proud.
Have a lovely day,
Sue
You definitely are a winner too Claudia – after all who would we be without our great teachers of long ago!
If ‘Gladys’ had arrived in my mailbox I would have been in tears – that was my dear mother’s name. Being a Welsh name I always wondered how my mother got it – we are strictly English, ha! ha!

How exciting for you Claudia! I love both shows!
Your figurines are so cute. Love the spider photo too!

We don’t watch Modern Family :)
Have a great week!!

Congratuations to your former students. They should have mentioned you. Where would they be today? You must be so proud of them both. I haven’t seen either show, but don’t watch alot of t.v. Usually only watch some shows because my hubby taped them and we watch them together. I LOVE little things. From my dollhouses to little kids clothes. They are so cute hanging in the stores. So tiny. Have a great day.
The little dog’s face is adorable. The spider is amazing but also icky.
Claudia, Here’s a cute use for old shakers….put a wire made to hold a photo into the holes. Then place a photo in the wire:):) Smiles, Susie
How exciting to see your students do well – the best feeling a teacher can have! Awesome that you taught them. And I think your miniatures are fabulous – more and more I like small things – they are so much easier to keep. Thanks for stopping by my blog! You were one of my original blog inspirations! So great to hear from you!
Blessings,
Tricia
I love the Big Bang Theory! Claudia , I just took a picture of a huge spider that has taken up residence on my gate! I may have to post it too! Fasinating aren’t they?…well except when they decide to lower themselves ON you! yikes!
Blessings, Joanne
What lovely little thingies you have there!
And the spider, well I wouldn’t call it lovely, but it is still pretty awesome smack in the middle of his web.
I love tiny things too!
Claudia, I am dropping by to let you know how very much I appreciate the kind and loving thoughts you left for me on my last post. I am just starting to blog a little, and I wanted you to know how much your kindness means to me.
I, too, love tiny treasures, and yours are as cute as can be! So glad you were gifted with them.
Hope you are feeling better, and hearing that wonderful news about your students is sure to put a smile on your face.
Warm hugs…
XO,
Sheila
I love that little pepper/salt shaker face. Too cute!
Jim Parsons is a favorite of mine as well! It must feel good to see your students accomplish such fame!
Blessings,
Dianne
