you can do anything and everything, but choose to do one at a time…
Our story
la fille anglaise, is me, Jess, an English girl who lives in a small French Canadian town. Oddly, I was a self-confirmed city-gal, but ten years ago, chance would have it, I found a small house out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Ever since, rarely have I ventured back into the city.
la fille anglaise, is my journey from that city girl lifestyle to the life I share with my young son, Liam and a handful of cats.
la fille anglaise is about lifestyle. It’s about being a woman. It’s about helping my son become a young adult.
la fille anglaise is about creativity. From as early as I can remember, I colored, drew and painted. I knitted my first sweater by the age of 12 and wore it until the elbows were threadbare! I dabble in embroidery, quilting, and sewing.
la fille anglaise is about food. I love being in the kitchen. I have few cook books, but those which captured my attention share the same quality: slow cooking, beautiful ingredients and a love for wine.
return to simple
la fille anglaise, is a young woman’s purposeful attempt to return to a simple life. A return to an unhurried and gentle way of life. If you aspire to live this way, then, I hope you join me as I explore living slowly.
