Photo: A French vintage collage that I saw at the flea market.
"Honey?! I have a great idea for a necktie!" I said teasingly with a straight face.
"Corey don"t even think about it!" French husband exclaimed, "You can decorate the house however you want, but I will not wear a bow around my neck.
After all these years he should know not to dare me!
It looks ... striking, bound and tied. :-)
Guess he can now eat spaghetti with tomato sauce without having to worry about splatters on his SHIRT!

Dear French Husband. You have my sympathy. Did you know how your life would turn upside down when you visited that gay bar some 20 years ago???????

You make me laugh my lovely friend.
I love you
Blessings
Love Jeanne

In that case, I can't wait to see the next photo of French Husband! Perhaps he will retalliate and buy you a feathered chapeau...

I heard Yann would try anything at least once!
Tell him he would actually look quite handsome in a bow tie.

A bow for your beau..?
Sounds okay to me, something to go with his eyes perhaps...?

I love how you make French Husband your little play doll, LOL.

I wish my brother-in-law thought the same way as your husband. lol He wore a white bowtie with pink polka-dots on it to church when we came to visit. My siser threw it in the garbage. But he bought a new one.

This is way too cute...and funny! :0)

You realize that him letting you decorate the house HOWEVER you want is already ahead of the game!! I wish I were that lucky! But now him wearing a bow....that would make quite a picture for the blog! He better sleep with one eye open...

Well-you could always wait until he takes a nap in the chair and put the tie on him when he is unaware. Then do a quick photo for evidence.

Maybe with you ask real nice :o)

I'm mixing up my prepositions. Silly me.
Maybe if you ask him real nice :o)
All romantical ;o)
Posted by: Miz Booshay | 20 May 2007 at 07:35 PM
Perhaps he'd wear the bowtie right after the nose ring is in place? Thanks for a lighthearted Sunday :D

I don't know, your photos of your house look pretty good! You may have something there! You could call him professor, if he wears it!!

Tu as raison Corey, qui ne tente rien n'a rien ...
Posted by: Violette | 21 May 2007 at 01:46 AM
Hee hee... tell him he's won the Oscar and needs to wear one to get it!
Posted by: Regina Clare Jane | 21 May 2007 at 02:03 AM
so, did you get it and make it for him?
Posted by: Jann | 21 May 2007 at 03:11 AM
It's good to tease your mate. Keeps the sparkle in his eye.
I would like to see a tie made as you suggest. It might be just the thing for the Tie Quilt I am making.

Oh my...this promises to be fun.....

Corey, you really inspire me. I love reading your blogs. They can make me smile no matter how complicated my day has been. No matter if I get myself into some strange love triangle, have a ton of algebra homework (yeah I am just going to mention right now that I am 13), or if I just can't seem to get a fitted sheet onto my bed (I swear it won't stay... you put one side on and another pops off!).
Anyways what I would like to say is thank you for the words that you write. They have inspired me in more ways than you could know.

My husband has worn a bowtie for the past 20 years... It really is very cute. If you can get a bow around yours' neck, DO take a picture. :-)
Posted by: Tara Larsen Chang | 21 May 2007 at 07:10 AM
The message "Pensez à moi" (= Think of me) on the bow seems to suit the situation - from FH's point of view.
Tell him not to panique, it could have been a lot worse... such as a "jabot" (shirt frill)!

Lol.. this sounds like something my cousin'd do to her hubby! :D
Posted by: [a} | 21 May 2007 at 08:17 PM
gorgeous collage!
And tell French Husband that your fans really, really want to see him with a bow around his neck!
