Okay, enough of packing. It is ongoing – we are all aware of that. I will now let it go.
A while back, I drove up to Laguna and dropped by Christie Repasy’s shop. It was lovely to see more of her art and see her in that environment. I kept forgetting to post about the visit, so here are some photos.
Sorry about the reflection in the glass – I think it is from Christie’s front window. Does the painting in the lower right hand corner look familiar? Yep, that’s the one I bought at the Barn Sale.
Speaking of reflections, there I am with Christie in the mirror. I think that is Alice, her assistant, behind us.
Would you like this mantel that Christie painted? Of course you would.
This is Christie’s adorable dog. His name is Jack.Christie sent me on to Country Roads Antiques in the town of Orange with the assurance that I would go nuts. I did. It is the most amazing shop I have ever been in. It is huge with fabulous dealers (Christie is one of them) and displays. You will be proud of me. I bought nothing. But that is because I bought a vintage lampshade from Christie – that is now on its way home. I will post photos of it when it is happily home at MHC.
I’d love to shop there!!
OMG, Claudia, I want to shop there!!! Thank you for the fabulous photos! I wish my mini shoppe was bigger as I am getting so many fab ideas from you!! Hugs :) Marsha
Hey Claudia,
I’m supposed to be taking time away from the computer, but when I saw your blog come up in my follower and it said Christie Repasy, I flew over to see. Thanks for the tour, I love it! That white house in the photo of the reflection of you and Christie I so, so, so love! Okay, off I go – thanks again, I hope to have something of Christie’s one day. Her dog is darling ;)

Thanks for your visit. We are moving closer to Nashville. Right now we are about 45 minutes n/e of N’ville. We plan to move to the south side. I can’t wait.

I’m catching up! What a wonderful read. So full of beautiful pictures and lovely items. This is my only comment, but I’m enjoying the catch up immensely with my coffee!
Is that woman seriously talented, or what? How would you/could you decide on just one thing? I can’t even imagine…

This was my very first but not to be the last visit to your blog.
I am not sure how I got here but I am so glad I did !
The McCoy pottery on your header
along with the title of your blog both reeled me right in :)
I love McCoy pottery thanks to my grandmother who used it in her garden and on her backporch as I was growing up.
The Mockingbird is our state bird here in Texas where I live .
Than as if that were not enough I came on inside your blog and looked around and the rest as they say is history .
Have a fabulous 4th of July .
Happy Trails
