Here we are in the midst of a long and ridiculously hot summer in France. I’m currently in Provence with my family, and you may have seen my unboxing video that I did with my daughter Nina. These summer breaks with a mix of generations are possibly the most precious moments in my year, and I’m grateful to have our entire family with us, as well as friends popping in and out.
But it’s not all holiday, and I noticed that I’ve had a lot of emails recently asking me when I started the blog, how I created the boxes, or why I thought it was a good idea to launch a printed magazine! Other people have written asking about our tours and travel advice ….
Many of you may know that the blog and everything since stemmed from a moment at the end of 2009 when, as a hands-on mum with four rapidly growing children, I found myself scared by the prospect of the empty nest and decided to try to reinvent myself.
Since that first blog post in February 2010, a lot of things have happened. And today, I count myself extremely lucky to have been able to see My French Country Home grow from a simple, personal blog to a business with a small team.
Being in a position where we have to learn new stuff every day is one of life’s greatest privileges, and I’m always up for a new challenge.
But rather than answer those email questions here as a blog post, I’ll be doing a Q&A video on Instagram at the start of next week. Please send me your questions by email at contact@myfrenchcountryhome.com, or drop them into the comment box below, and with the help of my daughter Nina, who’ll play moderator, I’ll take all of your questions about life in France, about anything to do with My French Country Home, or anything else that crosses your mind.
The Q&A will be posted on Facebook & Instagram on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.

Hello from the USA!
Could you please answer this question during the Q&A on Instagram next week:
Can you please go back to the individually wrapped gifts for the Christmas Advent box? Honestly, it is so much more fun and special opening a special little Wrapped gift from France! Just pulling open a drawer, is nothing special and just like all the other lower quality advent boxes. My French Country Home Advent Boxes are exquisite, in a class all their own. Please keep it that way by wrapping our gifts. Thank you.
great question Rhonda! thank you, I will answer that during the video 🙂
So happy to have your posts in my life! This is a random question but one I can’t get out of my mind. On one of your posts you visited a florist who made a bouquet of flowers in her studio in a glass bubble vase. I loved the style of that bubble vase (more circular than tubular vases connected in a ring). Is there any way to get the manufacture or retail business name of where I could purchase one of these? I remember the arrangement she put in it was so gorgeous and I would so love to have one of these bubble vases to adorn. Thank you!
Love your Art of Antiquing in France book. Would you share photos of your interiors? Love looking at beautiful interiors of France.
