It is so cold here this morning that the heat kicked on! We always wait as long as we can before we turn it on for the season, but I guess the boiler decided for us this morning. And it’s still cold! I just made our second cup of coffee as we need to get going this morning. Booster shot time!
After that, grocery shopping and then we do another self-tape audition for Don.
We finished Goliath’s fourth and final season last night and let me tell you, we were blown away. It is brilliant on every level. Completely brilliant. I haven’t seen anything this good come out of American television/streaming in years. We’re going to watch it again in a week or two. I don’t know what we’ll watch tonight – Goliath is an impossible act to follow.
Yesterday, a little parcel arrived in the mail with some new shoes for Sophie. Of course, I had to find an outfit to match them.
Adorable.
The dress is by Moshi Moshi Studio. Hilary lives in England and has her own website.
The shoes were made by Crafty Cora, who is on Etsy and lives right next door in Connecticut. I say this because much of what I order for Sophie, in fact, 98% of it, is from Europe or Asia. The shoes are leather. This is the second pair I’ve purchased from her and her work is amazingly detailed.
You’ve seen the tights before. They’re from PommePomme on Etsy – based in Ohio.
Gosh, I love dressing her up!
Sophie, by the way, is half English, half French. Her dad is from Great Britain and her mom is from France. She lives in England during the school year, but she spends summers at her family’s home in Provence.
Lucky girl!
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.

I had a friend that was half English and half French! Her accent was just wonderful.
Claudia says
I’m sure it was!
Stay safe, Tana.

Deb in Phoenix says
Sophie, Sophie, Sophie!! I never thought a doll could capture my heart! I love the tights with those shoes!😂💕. So happy you made it through your first trip to NYC. It is always nice to get home though. I don’t have to tell a homebody like you though. I am the same way myself. Love to go away, but love to come home. Have a great weekend. Can’t believe your heat came on!
Be well!
Claudia says
I am such a homebody! I don’t like being away from my husband and my home!
Thanks, Deb!
Stay safe.
Kelly says
Hi Claudia, that’s my favorite aster, thank you for sharing yours! Sophie has wonderful taste in clothing!
Take care…
Claudia says
Isn’t that flower gorgeous?
Yes, Sophie has a good eye!
Stay safe, Kelly.
Chris K in WI says
It is still warm here. Got up to 83* today, and pretty humid. A friend of mine was saying that it has been so warm, she forgot to get their fuel oil ordered as we know that will hit one day soon. Those flowers are beautiful. Are they an Aster? The color is amazing. Hope you have a quiet weekend. Take care.
Claudia says
Yes, they’re a New England Aster, Chris. They pop up every fall and I just love the intense color.
Stay safe.

Sounds super busy! It’s hard when a fave series ends — you almost don’t want to watch anything else for a bit!
Sophie’s shoes are darling. I love her bio!
Claudia says
That’s why we’re watching it all over again!
Thanks, Jeanie.
Stay safe.
