Deep in the Heart of Texas

Willow Nest Pink Kitchen

Willow Nest… the name alone said something to me… "Willow(s)" is where I grew up and "Nest" applies home… I walked into Linda's stand in Marburger and asked if I could take some photos. Linda smiled her generous smile and said, "Hi Corey!"

From that moment on it was one connection after another. Is it possible that somewhere somehow we must have known each other?

Then again this whole world wind experience has me thinking that there must be layers upon layers to this life of ours….

Spirit

One person after another, the amazing grace of the journey, the dance of the spiritual world that influences the intertwining of paths… Maybe it is this intertwining stirred with desire, and then again maybe it is simply this…

saying yes to the voice in one's heart that can lead to a truly amazing day.

 Linda and her husband Ludmil invited me to their home, in the Hill Country, nestled in a prairie town, surrounded by  three hundred year old oak trees.

The word enchantment was created in their home.

    I agree — Amazing journey you are on, blogging & antiquing maybe the outer connection, but there is so much more to the ‘flow’ of life stream you are traveling through, your connection with Linda brought tears to my eyes and I know not why?
    wish I were there.feeling permeates my thoughts.. maybe its the rain here in Portland, I woke up thinking – it is raining and I wish it wasn’t today

    Oh wow Miss Coco ! We arrived back home last evening from beautiful Bonnieux and I have just dispelled the post holiday blues by catching up with your wonderful trip. Absolutely mind blowing Corey – South Carolina, New Orleans & Texas… I had no idea how beautiful and that Spanish Moss is just hauntingly beautiful.
    I must tell you that whilst you have been enjoying all these wondeful new friends, Keith and I enjoyed an enchanting lunch last Saturday in Aix with a charming & handsome Frenchman…
    Looking forward to the next chapter, God Bless Corey, Jx

  5. Beautiful my lovely friend
    Love you ♥

  6. sounds like a central valley kind of place there in hill country with the old oaks and such.
    yes, there is an intertwining to us all in the world, we’ve just to connect up close and personal to really feel it. and, you are so very fortunate to be connecting to so many up close and personal.
    enjoy your journey and of course your final destination in willows. i have had a hankering to return to chico and feel it again but, that won’t be happening soon. til later. many hugs and good thoughts always.

  7. YES! YES! YES!
    YES and YES and YES!

  8. Merci, Corey, for reminding us how beautiful our country and people are. Longing to live in France sometimes makes me forget about the beauty right here.

  9. Loving your posts and journey.

  15. There is nothing to compare to Texas hospitality. Having been the recipient of same, I know. What a joy for you.

  16. Hi Corey!
    This post makes my heart throb!! I feel the same as your words are written… The beauty of being 50 is seeing the beauty in people before us…layers and layers, like a rose opening… one after the other, one big beautiful rose. I believe it is because some of us are all made of the same fabric, like a tapestry, or from the same rose that is opening and we are embracing our beautiful world together. Thank you for all the images you are sharing and for taking us with you every step of your remarkable journey. I wish I was there to meet you:(
    On another note…
    I want that blue religious piece with the crab and cross on it!! AND those blue and white pillows!! Will you share what you bought with us…pretty please with sugar on top~

    I just wanted to let you know that I am reading your posts each day and enjoying them tremendously.
    What I am realizing is that you don’t have to be somewhere like France to find and appreciate beauty. Corey, you are magic.
