Frugal Queen in France on IG and Youtube.
She does have a lovely life. And as a Trad Wife, I lay money she has a cleaner or 2! If she looked after that home cleaning it the size it is..and being so old the dust would be horrendous. She would not have time for content creating and hours sewing and knitting.
Completely agree. I don’t begrudge her a cleaner either, she’s clearly completely loaded and enjoys a very privileged life: child at boarding school, no job, regular luxury holidays, stunning home and gardens. I like her despite her immense privilege but it’s hard to tell what she would be like in real life, possibly quite different to her Insta persona
She’s probably lovely. I just roll my eyes when she makes comments like the one quoted. Same as when she took a much needed break for a luxury holiday. Social media is a choice not a duty.
I lust after Mrs Trufflepigs house.
er, I'm in that group
When did you join?
a few years back. I was interested in vintage housekeeping and I also collect the old embroidered tablecloths and tea tray cover. It was interesting and escapist.
Yes, so she closed the group back last year. If you’re not part of the group you can’t search it or join it because she’s made it private.
Yes, which was last year. It was in this group the listing was posted.
But Alena has allowed those people on her page and hasn’t curtailed their postings. She has become more vocal about her Christianity too and I think the whole vintage type feel will go from her, especially as she’s fallen out with those three
I get the feeling Alena's whole life she's not fitted in and tries her upmost to fit in with some tribe. She also gets involved in the latest fad in her life.
last week she posted this' she knows that we followers are interested in her lovely life' ,she isn't posting at weekends to be with family
.
. Honestly, the competition. I have noticed Sian started going to Burgh Hotel and trips on the Belman train after Hen was doing them.I must go check it out.I get the feeling Alena's whole life she's not fitted in and tries her upmost to fit in with some tribe.

In other news. This morning MrsWarrsCountrtyhome shared a reel of her week..most of which she's already posted throughout the week. What happened to taking a leaf out of Diane Shiffers book and not being present on IG at weekends

Earlier in the week Sian did a show and tell about her latest thrifting finds. Someone on here once mentioned the quality of charity goods they find. Well, Sian has a head start and probs 1st dibs, she volunteers a few hours in a good local vintage charity shop. And I sense she sees things and contacts her two chummies asking do I get said item for you, right up your vintage street dear heart.
One of her purchases was a 1940s blouse made of parachute silk. Being very delicate and fragile, she's going to frame it.
The next day..Henousehomemade puts a story on. Her 3 cats on a double bed. Caption 'how did you get in here'. Just hanging to the side of the bed on a gob a very similar 40s parachute blouse. telling us ''I already have one!
I must go check it out.
Thrifting in those circles is very high level ‘thrifting’. They can afford it and it’s great the charity gets the money but is it really thrifting? I was tempted to add up Mrs Warrs purchases in that one post.
I must be bored.
Edit. Missed the cat and blouse story but I like her shoes on the Burgh Island door mat.

Does anyone know if Henhouse still has her holiday let? Lilac Cottage. Nothing has been posted on the Instagram page for over 5 years and I wondered if they’ve sold it.
Sian did say the price of the 40s parachute blouse It wasn't cheap..£60ish.
That just shows it's not your average high street charity shop and more like a proper vintage place, which is just as disingenuous.
