About Jenna:
Jenna Kinghorn is a blogger with an online shop, Blanc & Bleu, of vintage finds & lifestyle brands from her trips to France. She lives with her husband and four kitties in a 1928 cottage inn in Riverside, Rhode Island that they have been slowly restoring over the last 5 years room by room. Recently "on a whim," they bought a cottage in Normandy that they are now renting on Airbnb. Jenna is all about finding joy in the simple things, loving your home in the best way, and taking care of yourself to feel joy & balance. After turning 50 this past year, she has learned to look at life differently with appreciation & contentment but still a desire to explore and discover. She is also hosting a thrifting tour for this Fall in Normandy for a small group (tickets still available!). Their cottage was also graciously featured in Fifi O'Neil's book Small Spaces Big Appeal and Jeanne D'Arc Living magazine.
