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.)

Fancy Nancy Strikes Again
Bon Vendredi to you! That's fancy for "Happy Friday." Remember the Fancy Nancy children's books series? I always thought it was adorable how she would speak French and then say, "That's fancy for..." Let me tell you; sometimes French doesn't feel that fancy. I'm...
