Stories Collected While Living in France
Striking a balance was her idea to a long lasting relationship.
He had placed a crown above her heart, claiming love. She was flattered but ask to have a button too, because after all she was a practical kind-a gal.
photo: Vintage linen nightshirt. Lace bodice, a button with "oxox," hugs and kisses, and royal crown sewn above the heart. Sweet dreams assured.
Ah, the touch of linen (that has dried in the sunshine) on my skin. Sigh. 🙂

Thank you my sweet Corey
These 2 symbols, the crown and the button, make me think of “the prince and the shepherdess” (was it a tale? a song? a film? … ???).
Hope every button will find its buttonhole and every crown its head !!!
I will forever think of them as xoxo buttons…
lovely post!
Sounds like things fairytales are made of…..
First visit to your blog and I’m finding it delightful.
I will never sew a button with two lines from now on… only x’s! =)
PS – a tribute to your recent treasure parcel I received from you on my blog. =)
What a sweet way to describe a button, I love your xoxo 🙂 I am definitely one to ask for a button!
Thank you for all the joy you bring me through your words and photographs and your friendship.
I love you

Looking northward and standing on my tippy toes and waving at you from So. Cal. Corey. 🙂 Hope you’re all having a wonderful time catching up!
You have romance (and whimsy) in your soul Corey, or at least your fingertips. 😉 How I love the thought of buttons being x’s and o’s … never ever occurred to me … I did not see it and now it seems so obvious. So very charming and clever and so very Corey.
So long, Corey, since I’ve had a chance to sit and enjoy your blog… always uplifting.
take care, g xo
I would love a peek inside your closet! What wonderful treasures you always seem to pull out for us!
Hope the family vacation is fun!

Dear Corey, you never fail to have beautiful photos to complement beautiful words.
