Welcome to Parisienne Farmgirl
From Brontë to Boondocks, I’m as pragmatic as I am fanciful. As farmy as I am fashionable. One side of my being has been nurtured with glamour and an upscale aesthetic, while the other side grew in desperate love for open fields and the feeling of soil in my hands. My family, preference for femininity, and a love for times gone by makes me who I am. I am ‘Parisienne Farmgirl,’ and I’m delighted that you’re here.

“This is the bit where I tell you about myself…”
As I understand it, this is the bit where I tell you about myself, however, were we over bubbly or an espresso, I’d much rather talk about you, but you’re there, and I’m here, and apparently, it’s my turn.
My name is Angela, and I suppose I’m what you would call an ‘old soul.’ I’ve been “who I am” since I was a little one (aside from a few dreadful moments in high school, of course).
My childhood hero was the Princess of Wales (and if you stick around long enough, you’ll hear the story a few times of how I met her.)

Oh! this special, fabulous flower! If you don't grow them yet, give me the pleasure of convincing you to! I was raised with these dragon-faced flowers. They were my Great Gramma's favorite (aside from lilacs) and my mom grew them in that tradition. We had a long...
Gardener’s Creative Block
Gardener's Creative Block - it's a thing and until recently, I've had a pretty mean case of it. I've been in a bit of a panic the last few years. Every time I look out my window, I take in the beauty we've created in the last few years and I'm grateful, but...
Far North Gardening CAN BE DONE | Potager 2022 Week | FRENCH FARMHOUSE
The tulips from last week have died back, the peony are trying to come about and I'm experimenting with some grasses to compliment the future blooms of the digitalis. Morning is my favorite time in the garden. It's very quite aside from the bird song and the sun isn't...
