“I always see gardening as escape, as peace really. If you are angry or troubled, nothing provides the same solace as nurturing the soil.”
~ Monty Don
The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.
~Alfred Austin

Back from my Royal Caribbean cruise to Catalina and Ensenada and I'm already dreaming about this day again… 🍷🌿
One of my shore excursions was a Wine Tour! We toured L.A. Cetto and La Casa de Doña Lupe, and let me just say—wine + vineyards + bougainvillea = my kind of paradise 😍🌸
Cetto brought those gorgeous, rolling vineyard views, and Doña Lupe had the sweetest rustic, garden vibe (I mean… have you ever seen bougainvillea like that?! 😍).
Safe to say the flowers and the wine both had my attention 😍🍷🌸

Lilacs just make everything better 💜
I turned this vintage-inspired lilac basket into a plate, and it feels like a little piece of the garden you can bring indoors 🌿
