Bonjour!
I’m Rebecca
Welcome to the my French home away from home. A place where I share all thing Paris to take with you wherever you are.
In 2008, Rebecca Plotnick found herself laid off and out of a job. A self-taught photographer, she decided to create an Etsy shop featuring her work and quickly found that her photographs of Paris were most popular with her customers. With this in mind, Rebecca decided to head to the City of Lights in 2009, camera in hand. She hit the cobblestone streets, picking up tips from her favorite local restaurant and immersing herself in the sights and sounds. Between taking photographs of landmarks and daily activities, she began learning the French language and fell deeply in love with the nuances of the culture that speaks it.
After arriving home, Rebecca launched a wildly successful online photography print shop that offered captivating pictures of Parisian streets, landmarks, and day-to-day details. In 2013, she decided to pack up all her belongings and left Chicago for what would become a nomadic way of living for two years between the United States and France.
Rebecca ultimately settled back into
life in Chicago, but after unpacking her
suitcases she found herself asking,
“How do I bring my experiences living
in France into my everyday life here?”
She missed the Parisian lifestyle and wanted to bring the
customs she loved and traditions she valued into her
present experience living as an American.

I love buying flowers for myself. It is my weekly ritual to pick up a bouquet at a local flower shop or market. Peonies, ranunculus, and hydrangeas are my favorites.
