Welcome to Farmhouse Friday! It’s all about decorating with florals this month 🙂 I don’t know about you…but I find these winter months less inspiring, when I don’t have access to fresh flowers in my garden. So, let me share with you my GO-TO florals for winter 🙂 One of my favorites is dried lavender. […]
