Fourth year blonde, rode a motorcycle across Eastern Europe, and will fly this week.

  41. Happy Blogiversary to you, dear Corey!!! Thank you for all you do that touches so many people each day! I have only been reading your blog for about a year, but I don’t know what I’d do each morning now without your lovely photos and writing as part of the start to my day!

  42. Happy Bloggity Blog Blog too you! It seems funny to think we have “visited” for four whole years but thank you dear one for sharing all of your delightful thoughts and experiences.
    Flying again, hmmm… a visit, a mystery, a blog journal?!!!
    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.

  43. Whatever the last four is, and the blogosphere consensus seems to say four years of blogging, congratulations. That is a long span of daily writing and you are to be both commended and thanks.

  44. Congratulations and I love the blonde!

  45. It’s all been said better than I could so a simple Thank You will have to do.

  46. I think it is your blog anniversary, new business venture and new hair color to go with it all!

  47. Oh gosh! Is it really four years since you began your blog?! Good gravy they’ve speeded the clocks up on me. I can’t recall if I found you shortly before or after year one??? It’s been one heck of a fun ride Corey, whatever the length.

  56. Dear Corey
    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. A couple of nights ago I actually dreamed all night about you and your new online venture!! I look forward so much to the next 4 years …
    Karen

  61. Congrats on four great years of blogging!

  62. Congratulations! Thank you for faithfully blogging every day though good times and bad. You are a constant source of inspiration. Does “will fly this week” means that you’ll be traveling somewhere for another exciting adventure?

  63. Woops – that should have been “mean” not “means”.

  64. Happy Blog Day!

  65. 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

  66. Happy anniversary and a big THANK YOU for all the fun and you are an inspiration.

    xoxo

  69. 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……..

  70. Dear Corey,
    Happy blogiversary!
    Our lives are progressions, n’est-ce pas?
    Peace,

  73. Your blog is exactly one week younger than mine. It’s been a good four years, hasn’t it? In my four, I lost my mother, but gained two adorable grands. Life is good. Gray hairs and all!
    Always love your place, my friend.

  75. I’m gray and changing! LOVE gray hair. I think it’s the most beautiful of all possible hair colors. It has to be righteously earned!

  76. p.s. I really pondered on the “fly” remark. Now I get it. Yann is taking you up in the plane, c’est vrai?
    Brave girl Corey!

  89. 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.
    Rebecca
