First year grey and changing.
Second year, reddish brown with blogger Sparkle.
Third year I was tough... wore a hat, my glasses broke and I spent seven months in the USA.
Fourth year blonde, rode a motorcycle across Eastern Europe, and will fly this week.
4
Do you know what that means?
Other than a four different hair colors?
Happy Blog Anniversary! :-)))

As for the hair...please tell me a blue mohawk is not looming in your future?!!! (I should have never let a man with hair like THAT cut MY hair!!!! That is all I will divulge!)
Peace and blessings to you Corey, Yann and family.

I am a South African currently living in England who has read (and loved) your blog daily, though it's my first time to comment. I wanted to thank you for being a daily inspiration and delight, with your thoughtful words, humour, and beautiful images.

Corey,
It means you are having a four year blog anniversary but more importantly it means that you embrace change and are finding blogging a growing experience. Thank you for sharing your ideas, thoughts and experiences in your blog. I always come away thinking I have visited with a friend. Your pieces have made me laugh, cry and left me pondering and grappling with the challenges and joys one experiences in daily life. Thanks for sharing your gift.
With best wishes for many more blogging posts.
Warmest regards,
Anna

Did I miss something? When, dear Corey, is your online shop opening???? Remember, I'm the one who might have a chance for some "shrink wrapping" once your doors open and before I start clicking PayPal orders! I just need some 'heads up' to alert the Ph.D that I'm in need....in a bad way........

Always love your place, my friend.

Happy blog-day, Corey. Thanks for brightening up my workdays with your stories of brocantes, family, ups, downs, silliness, your love of your husband, your bemusement and appreciation of live in France, and your genuineness.
I stumbled on your blog, googling photos of France+antiques before our trip to Provence three summers ago, and I've been following you ever since.
I'm glad you do this.
