Wine Mondays 🍷 Ps: A home style tip for decor Wine Mondays 🍷

Ps: A home style tip for decor enthusiasts who love to read; buy pretty books, or books with titles that mean something to you, or favorite books you would love to display, that you can style your home with and read as well. They say books and plants are the best kind of decor, the living kind. It’s a win-win 😊 (The one pictured here is a recipe book). 

p.p.s: I make my bouquets from the garden flowers and I’m not an expert. Not by a long shot. But it’s something I enjoy doing and that’s the point.
