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.

Completely unnecessary and unwelcome no matter what flowers they may bring. Anyway, in the spirit of practicing gratitude, my daughter did pick these from our garden and that was pretty cute 💛 Also, here’s to the audacity of Hope for brighter days.  #happymonday
