Hello and welcome! We’re Fransisca and Guillaume, the team behind this little corner where paper and illustrations meet dreams.
I’m Fransisca, an Indonesian woman living in France, surrounded by the love of my kind-hearted husband and our two inspiring daughters. From a young age, I’ve always had a passion for drawing and a heart that seeks out the beauty in life. I believe in the power of dreams — that when you chase them with an open heart, they can and will come true.
Glory to God! My dreams have come true in ways I never could have imagined. I’m married to the love of my life, Guillaume, and together we’ve built a beautiful family. (And yes, this is real: I’m living in France! One of my dreams was to go to Paris—a dream come true for many, but even more so for me. Who would have thought I’d end up meeting my dream soulmate in Paris, marry him, a French man with blue eyes, and raise two beautiful daughters in the heart of the French countryside?)
We have a sweet home with a lovely garden where we grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables — a peaceful place where dreams continue to bloom. It was also the place where I gave birth to our daughters, following my other dream of a simple, natural, free, and safe home birth, surrounded by the love and support of my family.
The journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but my belief in dreams — and in God’s perfect timing — has kept me going. And here we are today, doing what we love: creating beautiful paper goods and illustrations that reflect our joy, our faith, and our ever-growing journey together.
Belle Pivoine (which means “beautiful peony” in French, is my favorite flowers) grew out of our own life story. Every piece we offer started with something personal that I created for us. It began with custom couple illustrations, after I made a drawing of Guillaume and me. Then, we created our wedding invitations, which led us to offer them to others. Next came baby announcement cards — the idea sparked after I made our own for our first daughter, Gigi.
As our family grew, so did our offerings. When preparing for a natural home birth, I created a poster about natural childbirth, and then a prenatal yoga poses poster — all inspired by our own experiences. Each piece we offer is like a snapshot of our life’s journey — a reflection of the love, the growth, and the beauty of this amazing ride we’re on together.
Guillaume, a French man with Italian roots, is my biggest supporter. While I focus on the creative side, he takes care of the business side: managing taxes, the website, and all the paperwork. We’re a team, and I couldn’t do it without him.
Thank you for visiting our little dream world. We hope our creations inspire you to chase your own dreams and to always find the beauty in life’s unfolding journey.
With love and gratitude,
Fransisca & Guillaume
