About Me

I grew up in the United States and now live near Paris with my husband (who is French) and our son. After moving to France nearly ten years ago, I discovered flea markets and antiques stores -- discarded objects on Paris sidewalks, too -- and have come to love all things vintage, including old fabrics and linens. These, in turn, have inspired me to make things by hand.

My family and I speak mostly French outside our home and mainly English at home, which sounds pretty straightforward. But my mind doesn't always make the switch as quickly as the situation requires, so I often end up starting a sentence in English when I speak to the man at the post office or to the woman at la boulangerie, then have to switch to French mid-sentence.

I hope I can put some coherent sentences together for this blog, where you will find posts on handmade projects and vintage finds, along with glimpses of Paris and little details of everyday life.

Merci de votre visite ! A bientôt...
