Hi Friends and happy Sunday! I’m baaaaack and SO excited to finally share with you the first part to my 2 week trip in France! In today’s episode you will get to travel with me to a beautiful retreat with @CasaJulfa in a French countryside town called Montmorillon where I will be making pottery, shopping for antiques, meeting new friends, eating great food, sipping lots of wine and truly having the best time ever!
Are there things that I could have cut out of this video to make it a little shorter? Maybe. But I really wanted you guys to be able to experience every part of this epic trip with me, so I decided to keep it all in – including a full haul of everything I purchased…as well as some bloopers at the end.
So grab your favorite beverage and snack because in just a few moments….we’re going to Montmorillon, France!!!
Enjoy and I cannot wait to chat with you guys down in the comments!

Thank you for all the hard work you put in your videos. It is appreciated.
I liked the white shirt you wore on your first day in France. Could you please share where you bought it?

Oh Jessica, I can't say enough about this experience. Thank you so much for doing this video. You know I love a long story. lol
Hearing you mention several times how grateful you were to be in France was a tear jerker for me. You know how much I love seeing you happy. Your are the greatest!
Taxes and duties of 800$ or less was duty free but trump took that away this week. All goods will be taxed thats what ive gathered anyway
Watching your video this morning was such a joy, thank you. I'm glad that, in spite of a few setbacks, you had an amazing time on your trip. Some amazing moments were captured in the video! I'm eager to see what highlights you gather for part two.
OMG! Why am I crying! Such a beautiful video but more importantly, what you inscribe in your work so amazing. Your pieces are so gorgeous, definitely honoring to our ancestors. This video was also so inspiring. You truly are living a well-lived and well-loved life. Thank you for sharing. btw drinking from the bottle was hilarious, I so would have done the same thing lol!

I just finished watching your vlog. I hope you’re feeling fully recovered from your fall and that incredible trip—it sounded like such a beautiful experience. I especially enjoyed the musical selections you included. Looking forward to seeing more of your French vacation.
