Pouring it Out

Mademoiselle Cruet sat on the chair and bared her heart. Endless words untangled her thoughts. Snippets of the past poured out, and waterless hopes began to bloom.

    An unexpected pairing!

    Madame Curet knows that bearing her heart has been cathartic. Her mind is focused and clear now, as a bonus she finally feels hope. She’s a wise woman that Madame C., and so are you Corey!

    Corey! You are so fun! 😉
    Your words have so much truth to them though. It’s amazing what can happen when you do pour your heart out… Let it bloom!

    Great grandmother’s bachelor button painted cordial glass would match perfectly. Hm-Monsieur Cordial? Beautiful photo Corey.

  15. I’m beginning to see your home in the same light as the Biblical description “in my Father’s house are many mansions.” Is French husband the heir of a landed estate with various outbuildings to store your many treasures?
    I love that you have room to collect and then share with us here. It means I get to enjoy seeing all of your pretties without having to own them.

    beautiful, the both of you.

  17. You should write a book of these delightful little stories, Corey!

    I just bet that beautiful pitcher would look wonderful filled with rosé!

    Beautiful cruet! I love this line ‘waterless hopes began to bloom’…wishing for a fountain in the desert.

  24. Veronica TM

  25. Absolutely beautiful cruet! I love it! Your home is filled with such lovely things. 🙂

  26. Dear lovely Madmoiselle Cruet…
    may you dance under the light of the blue moon this evening
    in the moist fragrance of the honeysuckle
    may you spin and spin and spin
    the salty brine from your almond eyes refreshing and renewing your dreams
    xox – eb.

    Absolutely lovely!

    Your words perfectly capture something that i must do in the next couple of days. Feeling very reluctant, but no tears allowed.

    With a pounce, the cat jumped up on the chair beside Mademoiselle Cruet.
    Just a flick of the tale and Mille C. was on the floor in a gazillion pieces.
    Her vinigrette days were over…
