The Little Old Lady’s French Country Journal
After years of comfortable American living, I traded predictability for a nearly two century-year-old stone house in France’s historic Creuse Department. As a herbalist, archaeologist, and perpetual student of life, I’m creating this space to share my journey of reinvention.

Here, you’ll find seasonal recipes featuring local herbs, traditional French gardening wisdom, and creative projects that blend my passions for needlework and sustainable living.
