You Are Not Broken
You’ve spent a lifetime caring, curating, and keeping it all together.
And now it’s your turn.
BrocanteHome is a digital sanctuary for the woman reimagining her home—and herself—through beauty, ritual, and quiet, mindful commitment to who she needs to be.
Hello. I'm Alison May
Writer, neurodivergent midlife mama, homemaker, and founder of BrocanteHome. For over a decade, I’ve been writing about the quiet, messy, beautiful art of building a life at home. Not a perfect life—but a real one. One filled with candlelight, second chances, good books, emotional honesty, and mismatched teacups that tell their own stories. I’ve walked through grief, diagnosis, burnout, and reinvention, and I’ve woven every lesson into the fabric of this little corner of the internet.
BrocanteHome is more than a blog—it’s a sanctuary. A digital home for women who are done pretending and ready to create something real. Here, you’ll find soft rituals, slow rhythms, and gentle encouragement to help you reclaim your space and your self. Whether you’re navigating neurodivergence, midlife transition, or just a messy Tuesday afternoon, this is where homemaking becomes healing—and becoming yourself is the most beautiful thing you’ll ever do.
