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.
