This blog was created on a dare, November 29th 2005, after having lunch with fellow blogger Kristen, "French Word A Day." Kristen, daringly encouraged me to write about my, (as she called it, "Tongue in Cheek,") collection of French flea market finds.
My tales have been woven from my experiences of living and loving France. Mostly stories collected at the, marché aux puces, (flea market.) Tales of linens, letters, vintage scraps, and moments of these worn true objects whispering in my ear.
One year and counting, everyday I have taken a photo and scribbled something on this blog; no matter where…..on a cruise, visiting my family, whether I was as sick as a dog, or in foreign country. No matter if I had sad news, nothing to say, or no time to write…even when my camera broke and the keyboard was in Greek. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been an amazing adventure! I am happy to say that I aimed at the dare that Kristi gave me, and hit the bull’s eye! I did it, and it has given me a brand new world!
Thank you for your steadfast friendship, your encouragement, inspiring comments (beautiful post in themselves,) and most importantly the healing I have felt in being myself in front of you.
