Velvet & Toads Paris to Provence
France
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 ต.ค. 2019
Welcome to Velvet & Toads, a channel dedicated to authentic French living and everyday nature, home & garden in France, from Paris to Provence. I'm a native Californian, but I've spent my adult life in France, having followed a Frenchman home to Paris when I was still in college.
The channel's slant is French, but rather than first impressions, culture shock or stereotypes, my aim is to provide a more authentic, relatable experience that bridges cultures through common interests in nature, home & garden with like-minded people, wherever you may be. Think of it as a home & garden channel that just happens to be out of France!
Join me for decorating, DIY, simple gardening and topiaries, antiquing, furniture and room makeovers, foraging, easy recipes, preserving, backyard wildlife, and sustainable living, 2-3 times per month!
